Installing python package

Question

I've already installed mechanize using pip install mechanize, such that when I enter it in the command prompt, the response is: Requirement already satisfied: mechanize in c:\users\wwl\anaconda3\lib\site-packages.

However, when I type import mechanize in the jupyter notebook, it gives an error:

ImportError: No module named '_mechanize'.

Where have I gone wrong?

What version of python are you on? Mechanize only supports python 2.* — ocelot, Feb 22 '17 at 20:45
No worries :) [Here's some alternatives](https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/3dvq25/are_there_any_better_alternatives_to_mechanize/) — ocelot, Feb 22 '17 at 20:49
have you tried installing using `python -m pip install mechanize`? — xandermonkey, Feb 22 '17 at 21:13

Are you using Virtualenv?

If so, make sure you are importing the global libraries to your virtualenv (https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/userguide/#removing-an-environment).

If not, probably your Python version is not compatible. https://stackoverflow.com/a/24001585/2051397

Hope it helps
