ModuleNotFoundError: No module named Error in Python

The "No Module Named..." error is raised when Python attempts to import a module that it cannot locate. Modules are essentially Python files containing functions and variables that can be reused in different parts of a program. When Python encounters an import statement, it searches for the specified module in its standard library and other directories. If the module is not found, the "No Module Named..." error is triggered.

Below, are the reasons for occurring ModuleNotFoundError: No module named Error in Python:

  • Module Not Installed
  • Incorrect Module Name
  • Incorrect Directory Structure

Module Not Installed

The most common reason for this error is that the required module is not installed on the system. Python relies on external packages and modules to extend its functionality, and if a module is not installed, Python cannot find it during the import.

C++ 
# Error: ModuleNotFoundError import requests

Output

Hangup (SIGHUP)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Solution.py", line 2, in <module>
import requests
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests

Incorrect Module Name

Typos or incorrect module names in the import statement can also lead to this error. Python is case-sensitive, so a slight difference in the module name will result in a "No Module Named..." error.

C++ 
import jso

Output

Hangup (SIGHUP)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Solution.py", line 1, in <module>
import jso
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'jso'

Solution for ModuleNotFoundError: No module named in Python

Below, are the approaches to solve ModuleNotFoundError in Python:

  • Installed Module
  • Correct Module Name
  • Correct Directory Structure

Installed Module

To resolve this issue, you need to install the missing module using a package manager like pip. Open your terminal or command prompt and run the following command:

pip install <module_name> or pip install requests

Replace <module_name> with the name of the missing module.

Correct Module Name

Double-check the import statement for typos or incorrect capitalization. Ensure that the module name matches the actual module name.

C++ 
# Incorrect import jso  # Correct import json

Correct Directory Structure

Make sure your module is in the correct directory and has the right structure. If your module is part of a package, ensure that the package is properly structured, and use the correct import statement.

C++ 
# Incorrect from myproject.mymodule import myfunction  # Correct from myproject.package.mymodule import myfunction
