r/learnpython on Reddit: Can install pyperclip, but can't import it. (Automate the boring stuff)
October 12, 2021 -

EDIT: SOLVED!. Details in comment. Thanks all!

I got the ATBS for free the other week and have been working through it. I'm at a section where he tells us to use pip to install pyperclip.

I've search A LOT about this, and almost every answer is instructions on how to get pip to install it.

That is not the problem I'm having. It says "Successfully installed pyperclip-1.8.2" in the command prompt.

The IDLE shell says ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyperclip'.

I don't know what to do here. I am brand new to programming and no nothing about the cmd prompt really.

One thing I do know is pip is installing pyperclip in a folder that isn't where python is installed and I think that might be the issue, but I don't know how to fix it.

C:\Program Files\Python310\Scripts>pip install pyperclip
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Collecting pyperclip
  Using cached pyperclip-1.8.2.tar.gz (20 kB)
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... done
Using legacy 'setup.py install' for pyperclip, since package 'wheel' is not installed.
Installing collected packages: pyperclip
    Running setup.py install for pyperclip ... done
Successfully installed pyperclip-1.8.2

If I try again, I can see where it installed:

C:\Program Files\Python310\Scripts>pip install pyperclip
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Requirement already satisfied: pyperclip in c:\users\user\appdata\roaming\python\python310\site-packages (1.8.2)
