Why am I getting this ImportError when trying to import docx in the Terminal?

Question

I'm learning Python at the moment, and after installing the docx module, I keep getting this error when trying to import it in the Terminal:

import docx Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/Users/trevorstathatos/Library/Python/3.10/lib/python/site-packages/docx/init.py", line 14, in from docx.parts.document import DocumentPart File "/Users/trevorstathatos/Library/Python/3.10/lib/python/site-packages/docx/parts/document.py", line 7, in from docx.document import Document File "/Users/trevorstathatos/Library/Python/3.10/lib/python/site-packages/docx/document.py", line 10, in from docx.section import Section, Sections File "/Users/trevorstathatos/Library/Python/3.10/lib/python/site-packages/docx/section.py", line 7, in from collections import Sequence ImportError: cannot import name 'Sequence' from 'collections' (/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/collections/init.py)

When trying to import it to my Mu Editor, I get this error:

import docx

~/Library/Application Support/mu/mu_venv-38-20211212-105811/lib/python3.8/site-packages/docx.py in 28 TAGS = {} 29 ---> 30 from exceptions import PendingDeprecationWarning 31 from warnings import warn 32

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'exceptions'

Can someone please help me figure out how to fix this problem? Thanks.

I have readed on internet and a solution may be:

$ pip install python-docx
#instead of pip install docx

(for python 3.x) Please try this and tell me if works Link: https://flutterq.com/solved-import-no-module-named-exceptions/

Have you tried ```pip uninstall docx ; pip install python-docx``` ? – user17453599 Dec 30 '21 at 17:04
When I try to, it says, "WARNING: Skipping docx as it is not installed." – FarRoutine Dec 30 '21 at 17:16

Are you using the most recent version of python-docx? (currently 0.8.11). I found that when I used 0.8.10 python couldn't find all the modules.

You can use where python command in cmd to find the path that python is installed in. then you can use this command -

[python path] -m pip install python-docx
