pythonpyenchant

Installed a python library but (running it from IDLE) whenever i try to import it it returns a ModuleNotFoundError

Python noobie here, so im trying to install the "PyEnchant" library for a program. I followed all the installation steps, with pip install pyencahnt returning:

Requirement already satisfied: pyenchant in c:\users\micha\appdata\local\packages\pythonsoftwarefoundation.python.3.8_qbz5n2kfra8p0\localcache\local-packages\python38\site-packages (3.0.1)

Then, when I try to do import enchant from the python shell I still get the error

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\micha\Desktop\PythonStuff\Wordhunt.py", line 7, in import enchant ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'enchant'

What do I do to fix this?

Solution

  • Ok figured it out I opened the command prompt, navigated to my Scripts folder

    C:\Users\micha>cd "C:\Users\micha\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts"

    I THEN used pip install pyenchant and now it works
