Need serious help importing selenium to python (over 3 hours wasted already)
0
I have spent hours trying to figure out what I am doing wrong, I will list what I have done below.
- Installed Python, made sure I clicked the check box to add to SHELL
- I checked my to see if python worked in my command line, then checked pip, both work.
- I then installed selenium via pip install selenium.
- I then go to my IDE (ive tried 3-4 different ide's) and type "import selenium"
- I am always getting back a ModuleNotFound error, saying they cannot find selenium.
- I go back to command line to make sure I have it installed and its there, ive uninstalled pip, python, selenium and reinstalled them and even restarted computer multiple times.
- I dont know what to do, please help im going crazy, i should be using all this time to code.

When I go to "add or remove programs" and remove python from my machine nothing else shows up. I do have anaconda navigator not sure if that would interrupt any installations.

I tried python -m pip show selenium and it shows it installed on my system.

SOLUTION: I uninstalled python and anaconda, then i JUST installed anaconda and clicked the checkbox to make anaconda PATH. This allowed me to pip install selenium but not BeautifulSoup (im getting a different error for this and will make another post at a later date). Thank you.
