How to import pywikibot?

Question

I have installed pywikibot and set up the config as described in the instructions. However when I put "importpywikibot" at the top of my script it says "No module named pywikibot". Do I have to install pywikibot somewhere special?

Thanks.

If you haven't installed pywikibot then you can't import it. You need to

pip install pywikibot

on the command line and then it should work.

Thanks, for some reason the installation guide didn't include that. – TechnTom Jun 02 '20 at 14:40

First change "importpywikibot" to "import pywikibot" You need to create your python file in the "core" directory otherwise it will say "no module named pywikibot".

After installing pywikibot, you'll find core directory in C=> users=> your username => core

And do it from your cmd prompt. It showed error when I used vs code but worked fine when I run the program in the cmd.
