Dash: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dash'

[spencerlawrence36]

Hi, I am receiving a module not found error when trying to use Dash, even though I have installed all modules per the instructions here. The only modification I made to the instructions was pip3 rather than pip.

When running python3 my_app.py, I receive:

File "my_app.py", line 1, in <module> import dash ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dash'

When I run pip3 install dash:

Requirement already satisfied: dash in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (0.21.1)

I have checked for duplicate files/folders named dash or dash.py, but don't see any. I have also tried uninstalling everything and re-installing, but I received the same errors. Any help would be much appreciated- I've been googling around for a while and haven't found anything to solve this.

@spencerlawrence36 - Did you end up figuring this one out?

[spencerlawrence36]

@chriddyp I did not unfortunately

@spencerlawrence36 Did you use virtualenv?
Activating virtualenv from a different directory could create problems as paths would be different.
Run print(sys.path) to check what locations are scanned for imported libraries.

@spencerlawrence36 pip3 seems to refer to the system wide pip according to your logs.

Can you try to install dash using python3 -m pip install dash (to use pip for that particular version of Python)?

Otherwise, these commands can also help debugging:

which python3
which pip3

OK, update- it seemed to work when I used pip instead of pip3. Not sure
why that is- maybe some underlying problem with Python 3
