I froze a python 3.6 program with cx_freeze, and it worked just fine. But as soon as I tried to run it, I got this error message.
Does anyone know what to do? Please help!
try using
import tkinter
(small 't' instead of capital)
Try checking the dir names in the 'lib' folder (in my case it was 'build\exe.win-amd64-3.6\lib'). I had a similar issue (without the 'ImportError: DLL load failed...') and found that the 'lib' directory contained a "Tkinter" folder. Changing its name to lowercase 'tkinter' did the trick and made the .exe run just fine.
If you read the error more clearly, it stated in a comment that if importing _tkinter failed, your computer isn't configured to use tkinter. You should download tk and ttk to make it work.
And According to http://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter :
If it fails with "No module named _tkinter" or "Tkinter", your Python configuration
needs to be modified to include this module (which is an extension
module implemented in C). Do not edit Modules/Setup (it is out of
date). You may have to install Tcl and Tk (when using RPM, install the
-devel RPMs as well) and/or edit the setup.py script to point to the right locations where Tcl/Tk is installed. If you install Tcl/Tk in
the default locations, simply rerunning "make" should build the
_tkinter extension.

Using Pycharm on Linux mint.
I installed the "future" package for the python interpreter which I'm using. Heres the script.
from tkinter import *
top = Tk()
top.mainloop()
Didn't work. It returns "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'". Tkinter is infact installed. "python3 -m tkinter" confirms it. And when I compile the same code in the terminal, it displays.
As Bryan says, you're probably not using the Python version you think you're using. PyCharm tends to install its own version of Python. Once you have more than one version of Python installed, things get trickier.
To see what's happening, try running this script:
import sys
print(sys.executable, sys.version)
Or run those similar commands from the command line. That should help clarify matters.
The sys.executable will show you the full path to your Python executable. Great for seeing where the used Python installation is located.
I don't use Python on Linux, but perhaps one of your Python installations is version 2, in which case you would need to use:
from Tkinter import *
which is another way to confirm that the Python is version 2 rather than 3. If this is the case, you'll want to move to Python 3. I don't think anyone writes new projects in Python 2 anymore. It's defunct, purely legacy.
It's also possible that Python is installed on Linux without Tkinter. There are other posts on how to install Tkinter on Linux. For instance, you can check out ImportError: No module named 'Tkinter'
Thanks guys for the help I really appreciate it. But I found out the problem was because of Linux Mint's Software Manager. I initially downloaded pycharm using said software manager but it didnt work which is why I created the post. Then I deleted it, and downloaded pycharm through the tar.gz file from the jetbrains website. After doing that, it seems to work.
I am trying to do the following in Python 3.7.1 on Windows
import sqlite3
but I get the following error message
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
File "c:\programdata\anaconda3\lib\sqlite3\__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
from sqlite3.dbapi2 import *

from _sqlite3 import *
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
I have searched for a solution to the problem for quite a while now to no avail. I have also successfully run pip install pysqlite3 on the Anaconda prompt, but the import still fails. What do?
I got this working on windows by downloading: the sqlite3 dll (find your system version)
And placing it into the folder: C:\Users\YOURUSER\Anaconda3\DLLs
(Depending on how you installed Anaconda, this may have to be placed into
the following folder: C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\DLLs)
According to #alireza-taghdisian, you can locate the exact path of
your conda environments (where you need to copy the sqlite3 dll) by typing:
conda info --envs on your anaconda prompt.
Locate the sqlite3.dll file. In my case it was in following folder
C:\Users\Admin\anaconda3\Library\bin
where C:\Users\Admin\anaconda3 is the folder where Anaconda was installed
Add this to PATH in environment variables, and it should work then.
Try copying the sqlite3.dll from the
C:\Users\YOURUSER\anaconda3\Library\bin
folder to
C:\Users\YOURUSER\Anaconda3\DLLs
Please check https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/issues/4332
I added anaconda root/Library/bin to my PATH and now it works!
Add CONDA_DLL_SEARCH_MODIFICATION_ENABLE=1 to your environment variables.
before executing the program, enter conda activate in your shell.
I had tried all above solutions But for me and my system I got to know that
I downloaded Python in C:\Python27 hence there is dll folder in python C:\Python27\DLLs
I installed Sqlite3.dll in my above dll folder
May be this solution will help you because it completely depends on where do you install your python
Happy coding :)
I put the sqlite3.dll in the path folder of my Python venv and still wont work. I suspected it is a path problem.
(In my case: E:\Virtual_Env\mini_zinc\env\Scripts)
I found in my case I messed up installation in a virtual evn, somehow using an anaconda python kernel within a Python venv.
I reinstall the Python Venv and check the python version after installed Env is correct (not the Anaconda python), then proceed with Jupyter Notebook (or Juyterlab) and works fine.
I was able to resolve this issue by putting sqlite3.dll file in the C:\Users<USERID>\AppData\Local\conda\conda\envs<ENV NAME>\DLLs.
Download sqlite3.dll file from https://www.sqlite.org/download.html
or copy it from C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\DLLs\
I found the #elgsantos useful. But for those who are new to Python and Conda like me, I would like to add a little bit of details.
1- I use miniconda3 for creating new environment.
2- interestingly, I got two installation path on my computer for conda: the first one (the obvious) is located on "C:\Users\taghdisian\miniconda3". The second one is on "C:\Users\taghdisian\AppData\Local\r-miniconda". The latter is the primary path that you need to copy your sqlite3 files into the envs folder. I copy them in the "C:\Users\taghdisian\AppData\Local\r-miniconda\envs\sdr3.9\DLLs" in which the sdr3.9 is one of my virtual Condo environment.
you can locate the exact path of your conda environments (where you need to copy sqlite3) by typing the conda info --envs on your anaconda prompt.
I hope this help.
got the same error while loading the jupyter notebook from other conda prompt than "base" environment.

Happy October everyone,
I've successfully downloaded modules before using either the pycharm installer or pip through the command screen, but for some reason when installing matplotlib pycharm cannot recognize it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've installed through both methods, I've followed past similar questions asked on this site which make sure that you have the same interpreter and that it was installed in the right folder (pycharm error while importing, even though it works in the terminal).
So, here's the whole problem. Here's is the simple code, submitted into both pycharm and IDLE:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2,3],[2,1,3])
plt.show()
When submitted into IDLE, my plot appears. When submitted into pycharm, the following error appears:
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/PythonProject/matplotlib.py", line 1, in <module>
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
File "C:\PythonProject\matplotlib.py", line 1, in <module>
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
ImportError: No module named 'matplotlib.pyplot'; 'matplotlib' is not a package
I am currently running Python 3.4, PyCharm 2016.2.3, and my matplotlib folders are indeed in my site-packages folder inside my Python34 folder. Also for further verification:
PyCharm installation
Please help I've become frustrated since this is the only module I've run into trouble with. I've scoured StackOverflow and related websites to help, I've made sure I have all the requirements, etc.
I guess if you named your current writing python module as matplotlib.py.That cause the python load your current writing module instead of the actual matplotlib.py, which triggers an error.
I recommend you to use virtualenv. Is not strictly necessary but is good for dividing your project environments.
This is how I tested matplotlib on my Windows 10 installation, hope it helps.
Be sure that you have the python 3 installation folder listed in your Windows PATH environment variable, should be already listed if you checked "Add Python 3.5 to PATH":
You need also to set the Scripts folder in your PATH environment variable usually should be this path:
C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\Scripts
If you don't do that you have to prepend python -m to every command below like this: python -m <command>, so the command below would be python -m pip install virtualenv. I prefer the first solution.
To test matplotlib on Pycharm I've used virtualenv, here is how; first install virtualenv:
pip install virtualenv
Then you create your virtual environment in a folder of your choice, in my case I used python_3_env_00:
virtualenv python_3_env_00
After that you can activate you python 3 virtual environment:
python_3_env_00/Scripts/activate.bat
Now you should see in your command line the active virtual environment (python_3_venv_00), like this:
Now you can install matplotlib:
pip install matplotlib
Fire up PyCharm and add your virtual environment as you project interpreter, go to File->Settings search for Project Interpreter click on the gear icon and Add Local and set the path of your virtual environment, should look like something like this:
Test it:
import sys
print(sys.path)
run this code in where the import worked, and run it in the Pycharm project. Compare the lists. Find out which path that is not present in Pycharm sys.path.
Before importing pyplot, append the missing path to sys.path.
import sys
sys.path.append("the path")
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Does this work?
Please follow below steps if you are still getting an error:
If you are using PyCharm, it automatically create virtualenv.
Ensure Scripts path is set into PATH
C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32
Then open PyCharm and go to File-> settings. Search for Project Interpreter. You will see window like this
sample image
Click on setting icon -> Existing Environment -> click on ... give below path
C:\Users\Krunal\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\python.exe
Click on Apply -> ok and you are good to go.
After installing matplotlib When I was trying to use matplotlib.pyplot it was giving error module not found.
I browsed some white papers and found out that we also need to install scipy library to use the matplotlib so I used the below in my command prompt
python -mpip install scipy
Restarted my kernel session.
It worked!!!
I was also facing issue while importing matplotlib but it got resolved and now I am able to use it from pycharm as well.
Please make sure you should have visual c++ 14 installed in your system.
2.If you have more than two python version installed on your system then please install matplotlib from both the version.
Eg. pip install matplotlib
pip3 install matplotlib
If matplotlib is working from python idle then please check whether you are using correct interpreter in pycharm or not and try to choose pythonw.exe path from your installed location.
Hope this will help, Please do let me know if you are still facing issue.
I had similar issue but I solved it very easily on pycharm 2019.3.2. In case anyone looking for an easier solution:
I just opened the terminal window on pycharm and typed pip install matplotlib and it was all good to go. Every project has its own virtual environment. Opening terminal window of IDE cds to project directory by default. So the installing command was enough.
I'm trying to import everything from nodebox.graphics into my python 3.5 code but I get errors:
ImportError: No module named 'bezier'
To mention, this module exists in nodebox/graphics. As I searched in python documentations, I have to add the nodebox and pyglet folders into the directory of my code but that did not work.
I also didn't succeed in adding them to system directories.
How can I solve the problem and run my code properly?
P.S. I'm currently using ubuntu 16.04 if it matters.
I had the same error. Placing all the .py files except (and this is important) the __init__.py file in the main libraries folder fixed it for me. The final path should look like ~/lib/python3.5/site-packages/bezier.py
I am using python 3.4 on windows 7. In order to open a doc file I am using this code:
import sys
import win32com.client as win32
word = win32.Dispatch("Word.Application")
word.Visible = 0
word.Documents.Open("MyDocument")
doc = word.ActiveDocument
I'M not sure why is this error popping up every time:
ImportError: no module named win32api
Although I have installed pywin32 from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pywin32
and I have also checked the path from where I am importing. I have tried reinstalling pywin32 as well but that doesn't remove the error.
Try to install pywin32 from here :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/
depends on you operation system and the python version that you are using. Normally 32bit version should works on both 32 and 64 bit OS.
EDIT: moved to https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/releases
This is a bug in the library itself, probably they used a different python implementation for creating this.
What they are trying to import is the site-packages\win32\win32api.pyd file, but the win32 folder is not in the path that python searches in, but site-packages is.
Try to replace the import win32api (inside win32com\__init__.py) to from win32 import win32api
I encountered the same error yestoday with Python 3.6.1 on Windows 7, and resolved it by "pip install pypiwin32".
Had the same error trying to import win32com.client (using Python 2.7, 64-bit). I agree with TulkinRB, there seem to be path issues, but the fix suggested did not work for me, since I also could not import win32.
Perhaps my fix will also work in Python 3.4.
Eventually, installing the .exe from SourceForge as an administrator (as suggested in Rina Rivera's answer here) allowed me to import win32com.client from IDLE, but not when I executed the script I was originally trying to run.
In the end, I discovered 3 differences in the sys.path that had been extended when I installed as admin and opened IDLE, but were not applied when executing a script. By extending the sys.path in my script, I was able to get rid of the import errors when I executed it:
import sys
sys.path.extend(('C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\win32', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\Pythonwin'))
Finally, if you want more than a temporary fix, the sys.path could be permanently extended by establishing IDLESTARTUP or PYTHONSTARTUP variables (as described here and here).
You can create the __init.py file inside the win32 folder and then go inside the win32com folder and change its __init__.py file, where it is import win32api, change to from win32 import win32api
I ended up debugging and copying and pasting the necessary files into the appropriate folders. It's a work-around until the bug is fixed, but it works.
from https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/issues/1151#issuecomment-360669440
append the 'pypiwin32_system32' path to your system PATH,
in a script this can be done like:
import os
sitedir='C:/where_ever/'
os.environ["PATH"]+=(';'+os.path.join(sitedir,"pypiwin32_system32"))
...
from powershell
$env:PATH="$PATH;C:\where_ever\pywin32_system32";
python.exe ...
