No module named twilio

Question

I am trying to import twilio using python. I already installed twilio on my Mac, and when I type into Terminal

pip install twilio

I get

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): six in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from twilio)

However when I type

import twilio

into my Python IDE, it says No module named twilio

You would need to configure your IDE for version 2.7 of Python.

Which IDE are you using? For example when I use PyCharm it's better to work on a python project that uses a virtual environment.

The PyCharm can detect (or you can configure it manually) the environment path so it can get all the packages you have installed.

Same with vscode, if you use a virtual env, the editor can know the Python executable to use (in this case the virtual env one with all its packages, including of course Twilio).

First update your python version then go on figure out the compiler of the same version on any IDE you're using and then, you'll be able to use the command.

Do you have multiple Python installations? If so, you have to make sure your Python version matches your pip's.

To check this, type:

pip -V

And then:

python -m pip --V

You should get something like

pip 23.0.1 from C:\Users\user\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.9)

And check if they match.

An easy fix, is to install the libraries like this:

python -m pip install twilio

No module named twilio
