'No module named pdf2image'

[ironfelix717]

Hmmm.... Perhaps another language is suitable to simply convert a pdf to an image?

I've gone through the loops of installing the poppler binary, pdf2image libraries. System path variables set for poppler and pdf2image.

Running my code, cannot import pdf2image. Ideas?

How did you install pdf2image? The good way is probably with pip

Output:
python -m pip install pdf2image

Hi,

Yes i installed with pip.

That is what is frustrating me.

running your pip command it states that both PDF2Image and Pillow requirements already satisfied.

They are installed. But my code will not import them.

Thanks

What is the output of

Output:
python -m pip show pdf2image

?

Hi, here is output:

C:\Windows\System32>python -m pip install pdf2image
Requirement already satisfied: pdf2image in c:\users\USERNAME\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\lib\site-packages (1.6.0)
Requirement already satisfied: pillow in c:\users\USERNAME\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\lib\site-packages (from pdf2image) (6.1.0)

I mean pip show, not pip install... It should give us some information about the package.

Also what is the output of

Output:
python -c "import sys; print(sys.path)"

?

Hi sorry i did not read well enough:

There must be something wrong with sys.path. Can we see the output of

python -c "import sys; print(sys.path)"

# Test that it work
E:\

>>> pdf2image.pdf2image.Image
<module 'PIL.Image' from 'c:\\python37\\lib\\site-packages\\PIL\\Image.py'>

Now that all work,if use for editor/IDE most setup same interpreter also most point to C:\python37\python.exe.
For you a little longer Path
I am not so fan of the long default path
