Python 3.8 Module not found error after having it installed in the command line

I am using python 3.8.3 version. I installed folium typing pip install folium in the command line. After typing pip show folium in the command line, the output is as follows:

Name: folium

When I type import folium in VS code, I get an ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'folium' error. What can I do to solve this issue?

Solution

  • Your package seems to be installed in c:\users\user\appdata\local\programs\python\python38-32\lib\site-packages.

    Check out where is your Python looking for installed packages by running this Python program:

    import sys
print(sys.path)

    If there is not aforementioned path present, then you have to add it, for VS code it is described here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments
