I am getting following error while trying to use 'pysftp' module in Jupyter Notebook:

End Goal: Download files from Unix server onto Windows folder automatically through a web-based application written in Python.

In this process, when I try to connect to WINSCP in order to allow python code to login to Unix server(username@hostname), I used 'pystftp' module however I get below error message:

Error Message: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pysftp'

Action taken:

  1. pip list - to view the already installed packages in python; I doesn't show pysftp
  2. pip install pysftp - to install pysftp module; get below error when ran this in jupyter notebook

error message:

  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pysftp (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for pysftp

Request: Please direct and help me achieve my end goal.

I am writing a code in Jupyter Notebook

Thanks, Puneet

  • I think your internet connection isn't stable enough for `pip` – Amr Keleg Jan 22 '20 at 10:14

  • pip was never able to complete the installation of your module, possibly due to poor connectivity. (You should see a *successfully installed* message) Once the module is installed and available for Python to use, you will not see the error. – Vishakha Lall Jan 22 '20 at 10:17

At first suggestion: You should check the location for PYTHON installation path and from that directory go to cmd -> and type: pip installs pysftp. If the installation is successful then the problem is in your interpreter selection where your scripts are running.
