ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'qrcode' python 3.9

Question

I have already installed qrcode library in my command prompt and also updated my command prompt. In the command prompt it says that everything is fine but when I go to PyCharm and type in:

import qrcode

img = qrcode.make("This is the qrcode")
img.save("myqrcode.png")

And when I run it, it says:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Antho\PycharmProjects\pythonProject\main.py", line 1, in <module>
    import qrcode
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'qrcode'

I used the command: pip install qrcode I used it in my command promt and when i type pip list in command i see qrcode 6.1 if thats of any help. — Xotiic, Mar 28 '21 at 15:34
It still says that everything is satisfied in my command prompt but when i go to pycharm to run my code there it still couldn't fint a module named qrcode — Xotiic, Mar 28 '21 at 15:37
Does typing `python3` in terminal and then typing `import qrcode` work? — Ginger, Mar 28 '21 at 15:38
If i do python3 import qrcode it says:python3: can't open file 'C:\Users\Antho\import': [Errno 2] No such file or directory. I don't use virtual environment — Xotiic, Mar 28 '21 at 15:39
In pycharm you have to specify which python+pip interpreter to use for the project https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/creating-virtual-environment.html — Pietro, Mar 28 '21 at 15:44
When i first type in `python3` and press enter and then `import qrcode` it stays blank — Xotiic, Mar 28 '21 at 15:46
@Xotiic you should also see which path your `python3` points to. This is purely a python environment setting. You have not shared a screenshot of PyCharm showing the environment settings in the lower right. — astrochun, Mar 28 '21 at 15:58
Also, you should add the pycharm keyword. We are fairly sure it's not a pip or python issue. — astrochun, Mar 28 '21 at 15:59
I bet you installed qrcode on virtual env and tried it on original one. — Debendra, Mar 28 '21 at 17:11

When using Windows Debian, I found that I needed to restart the app for the install to take effect. – Anthony Petrillo Aug 16 '22 at 19:28

For those (using Pycharm) having problem with "import qrcode" "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'qrcode'". After "pip install qrcode" at command prompt, you also need to install "package" name qrcode in Pycharm too. File -> Settings -> Project:#### -> Python Interpreter -> "+" -> search "qrcode" -> Press "Install Package"

I don't think this would necessarily solve the issue posed by the questioner, if you add a little more information around how/why this answer does solve their issue, it might be more useful. – Thomas Kimber Mar 27 '23 at 09:10
