no module named fuzzywuzzy

Question

I installed fuzzywuzzy with pip for python3. When I do pip list I see

fuzzywuzzy (0.8.1)

However when I try to import is I get an error.

Python 3.4.0 (default, Jun 19 2015, 14:20:21)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux 
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import fuzzywuzzy
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named 'fuzzywuzzy'
>>>

Does anyone have experience with this problem?

Are you sure you ran pip3 and not just pip? The latter only installs Python 2 packages.

@Harald I have followed what you suggested, but still I am getting the same error. – Srijan Chaudhary Apr 21 '19 at 07:17

that is not the answer above. pip3 seems to be unrelated to the issue. FuzzyWuzzy is installed but for some reason Collecting fuzzywuzzy Using cached fuzzywuzzy-0.18.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl (18 kB) Installing collected packages: fuzzywuzzy Successfully installed fuzzywuzzy-0.18.0 – Rich Sadowsky Oct 26 '20 at 05:31

Try this to upgrade your pip

pip install --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org pip --upgrade --user

Then install fuzzywuzzy

python -m pip install --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org fuzzywuzzy

I had the same issue using Spyder. Check your Python version by:

import sys 
print(sys.executable)

And use what the previous command returns. For instance, if it returns "/usr/bin/python3", then run the following command:

/usr/bin/python3 -m pip install fuzzywuzzy

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fuzzywuzzy

From the document, if you want to use some functions of the library, type

from fuzzywuzzy import {the name of the function}

That doesn't explain why the OP's module is not found – declension Feb 09 '16 at 16:14
