ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distro'

Question

I am trying to install a library (https://github.com/yuanming-hu/taichi/) . I am running a script for installation(install.py). I am using python version 3.6+

I tried pip install distro. Still it's not working

part of code(install.py) :

        import distro
        dist = distro.id()

Error message:

File "install.py", line 184, in run
    import distro
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distro'

How did you run the `install.py` file ? `python3 install.py` ? — Ugo T., Jun 18 '19 at 15:18
Can you try to install distro again, but this time with `pip3 install distro` ? — Ugo T., Jun 18 '19 at 15:22

For Debian/Ubuntu users, when you have the error:

command not found: pip3

you have to use apt:

apt install python3-distro
