No module named tweepy

Question

I installed tweepy successfully but at the time that I want to import it, it appears to me that I don't have it

I'm new to this and I don't know a lot of things, hope you can help me. I'm using macOS and python 3.9.0

%`pip freeze
    
 tweepy==3.9.0`

then:

python my_twitter_bot.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "my_twitter_bot.py", line 1, in <module>
    import tweepy 
ImportError: No module named tweepy

Do you install the library in your global or Python environment? If you're not using environment, I'll suggest you go with Python environment.

Make sure you already install virtualenv

python3 -m pip install --user virtualenv

Go to your Documents folder (or anywhere), then run this. FYI, env in the command would be your folder name. You will access your environment using that name

python3 -m venv env

Make sure your in correct path and run this command to active the environment

source env/bin/activate

Then, you can install the library

pip install tweepy

Try import the library

$ python3
>>> import tweepy

you're probably using a version of python that isn't supported by the module. Try using later versions. the same thing happened to me with the keyboard module, I had to switch to 3.8
