I'm currently playing around with Python and the Twint module. The problem is that when I try to run the program in Atom, I permanently get this error message:

Error Message

("ImportError: No module named twint")

The funny thing is that the error message does not appear when I start Atom and run the program for the first time, but from the second time on it does appear. The first time everything works as intended.

What can I do to prevent this? I have twint obiously installed on my PC.

Edit: I am able to find the twint package under .atom/packeges and Atom also shows it to me as an installed package, but I still get the error..

Have you run in the terminal pip install twint or however you installed it on your machine. This can be done in the atom terminal – smitty_werbenjagermanjensen Feb 27 '19 at 20:24
When I go to "Packages" in Atom, it even tells me that I have Twint installed, but Atom still can't find it. – Paul S. Feb 28 '19 at 08:03
Do you have multiple python versions installed? – smitty_werbenjagermanjensen Feb 28 '19 at 17:09
Hi Joe, no I don't have two different versions installed – Paul S. Mar 05 '19 at 17:30
perhaps change your directory to where the package is and see if that helps – smitty_werbenjagermanjensen Mar 05 '19 at 21:07
I think I've already done that. What exactly do you mean though? – Paul S. Mar 06 '19 at 16:27
