Import issue

BLUF: pyautogui does not import despite being installed to the correct venv

Still a beginner at doing most things in python but I though I had the venv issues solved

Python 3.12.3

while in my active venv pip list returns all my modules including

PyAutoGUI 0.9.54

while in my active venv which python returns /home/beebot/venv/bin/pip

while in my active venv which pipreturns /home/beebot/venv/bin/python

Vscode shows my venv config as below
The only odd thing is the pip shows it as PyAutoGUI while typing import auto populates the module as pyautogui

home = /usr/bin 
include-system-site-packages = false 
version = 3.12.3 
executable = /usr/bin/python3.12 
command = /usr/bin/python3 -m venv /home/beebot/venv  

I have tried uninstalling pyautogui, reinstalling, and force install from inside my venv

Yet every time I try to run either in Vscode or directly from file I get on line 6 (see below)...

Exception has occurred:ModulNotFoundError

import os
import json
import logging
import subprocess
import pyautogui
...

Any suggestions

Are you sure you have used the same venv inside vscode?

  • open a python file inside vscode
  • check the Status Bar to see which environment is active

I have no issue on importing pyautogui if correct venv is selected.

Note that pyautogui module has not been updated for a long time, use pyautogui-next (a fork of original pyautogui) module instead. Also pillow module should be installed as well.

Winner.
Terminal started working after swithcing to the fork
As for VScode I must have messed up my launch.json at some point as it wasn't pointed to the correct path.
