No module named 'keras_tuner' even though i installed it

Question

i'm working on a classifier that uses CNN and i need to use the keras tuner so i can find the best CNN architecture

i executed this command "pip install keras-tuner" and it was installed successfully

but when i import it "import keras_tuner as kt" and run the python script

No module named 'keras_tuner'

i'm working offline with python 3.7.9,tensorflow 2.0,keras 2.7 in VSCode

can someone help me? i really need to use the tuner

thanks

Hello, please ensure that pip and python that you're using is the same by the commends `which python` and `which pip`. There is a chance that you're using different environments for pip and python. — Juhas, Feb 05 '22 at 10:56
`which` is a command-line command. Typing `which pip` and `which python` should tell you what binary is executing. Try those commands in the terminal and share your output. — Stanley Ulili, Feb 05 '22 at 11:20
oh i see...i'm using windows not unix (i don't have which command) — Jood jindy, Feb 05 '22 at 11:23
import sys print(sys.prefix == sys.base_prefix) printed false so yes i'm in a venv — Jood jindy, Feb 05 '22 at 11:31
Given we don't know which binary is executing due to the lack of the `which` command. I would encourage you to try to install the package again. Try using `pip3` like so: `pip3 install keras-tuner`. — Stanley Ulili, Feb 05 '22 at 11:41

so i used

pip install keras_tuner

in VSCode and the packge was really installed but in the global site-packages folder and not in venv/lib folder

so all i did is that i went to venv/pyvenv.cfg file in VSCode

and set

include-system-site-packages = true

I had the same issue using PyCharm. When I installed the keras-tuner package in the Anaconda 3 prompt, I got the message that everything is already installed. The problem was, that the keras-tuner was installed in my base environment and not in the environment (virtual) which I use in PyCharm. You simply need to do the following.

check out your environments in the anaconda prompt using: conda env list you will probably see the * on the base environment
now change to your working environment for example conda activate tf_cpu -> tf_cpu needs to be changed by your envs name (see on your list)
install your package such as pip install keras_tuner
