I've installed pyperclip and it works fine in python IDLE yet when I try to open the same program in vscode I get : ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyperclip'. I'm on Python 3.10.0 and pyperclip is version 1.8.2

This is the program that I'm trying to run.

import pyperclip

print(pyperclip.paste())

This is my first time learning programming. I am trying to install the pyperclip module using pip on python 3.5 (i clicked add PATH during the python install). I am following Learn to Automate the Boring Stuff with Python and the pip install for pyperclip does nothing in my command prompt. I will type this command, press enter and it will go to a new line, but nothing happens, no error, no >>>, nothing. It also will not let me type anything else into the command prompt and I have to close the cmd and start a new one. I have tried searching everywhere for this issue but I can't find anything.

Pip is definitely in my scripts folder, as it shows up in my directory within scripts. I am on Windows 10, 64-bit.

I've also read that the cmd may go blank but it may have installed the module. I try going into the idle shell and type: import pyperclip but it says nothing found.

Hi All,

I am working through the automate the boring stuff book and need to install pyperclip. Via the command line I have run the following commands

'pip install --user –r automate-win-requirements.txt ––user'

I receive the following,

    'ERROR: Invalid requirement: '–r': Expected package name at the start of dependency     specifier'

'pip install pyperclip'

I get the following,

'Requirement already satisfied: pyperclip in c:\users\johnr\appdata\local\packages\pythonsoftwarefoundation.python.3.11_qbz5n2kfra8p0\localcache\local-packages\python311\site-packages (1.9.0)

Yet, when I go to import pyperclip in visual code studio I get a module not found error.

What am I doing wrong?

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "pw.py", line 9, in <module>

import pyperclip

ImportError: No module named pyperclip

To start off I am a very inexperienced beginner. This subreddit has been pretty great I appreciate all the tools and support I have found throughout this subreddit, which is why I came here to search for help. On page 135 of Automate the Boring Stuff, one has to use the pyperclip module, which is referenced in Appendix A on how to install. This is where I am having a problem.

In Appendix A it states, "On Windows, you can find pip at C:\Python34\Scripts\pip.exe." I am running Windows 10 and Python 3.6. I cannot find the pip.exe. I previously found it in C:\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe. When I would click to open this, it would pop up and then close out automatically, so I assumed it had something to do with having both Python 2 and 3. However, I uninstalled Python 2.7 after realizing the redundancy of having both Python 2 and 3. I have a location (C:\Python3) however this file is empty. I thought having both Python 2 and 3 may have been the issue as to why I had a blank "Python 3" folder, so I uninstalled Python 3 and reinstalled it in hopes that I would then have all the necessary scripts. Still, no luck. When installing I just did the basic install that includes pip. Does it have something to do with having some form of antivirus or firewall on my computer?

Now, I have read that pyperclip comes preinstalled in Python 3, so this problem is not much of an issue, however I cannot import pyperclip in IDLE (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyperclip'). This must mean I need to install pyperclip with pip but I cannot access pip. Is pip accessed through Python 3.6? Or directly through Powershell or the command prompt?

I apologize if any of this sounds redundant or ignorant, I have tried my best for the past few hours to discover a solution with no avail. Again I am a beginner but I have invested in a lot of Python study materials in hopes to one day become proficient in the language. I appreciate any input that can be provided.

EDIT: Solved the problem! Thanks for the help /learnpython
