I have installed pyPDF2 module using pip install pyPDF2 command in it is successfully installed. But when I import pyPDF2 module i get error no module named pyPDF2

  • What operating system do you use? What python version do you use? If you use python3: Try to install the module with pip3 instead of pip. – snaeil Feb 24 '21 at 12:47
  • i also tried that but having same error and I am using python3 in window 10 –  Feb 24 '21 at 12:50
  • You can create an environment with pip and within that environment try it again. An alternative to pip is conda btw. I suspect your python to be the wrong one. You might have "multiple pythons" on your system and probably you are using the one that is not able to get the pip modules. – snaeil Feb 24 '21 at 13:02

Probably because your pip is not for your python. Check if

which pip
which python

show the same parent directory.

If they don't you should use another pip inside bin of which python. Or, the following

python -m pip install

may use the proper pip for your python.

  • @RanjanaDadhich `which pip` and `which python` show the same path to `bin`? – ghchoi Feb 24 '21 at 14:06
  • not working showing "'which' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." it can be my mistake but i started python just week ago –  Feb 24 '21 at 14:18
  • @RanjanaDadhich You can still find the path to Python installed. – ghchoi Feb 24 '21 at 14:58
