Lost Module

[standenman]

I install a package via pip
"pip install pypdf2". I see it install. I then try to import it "import pydf2". It complains about "import" as an invalid command. I type "python" and try from there. Import is not rejected - now told that pypdf2 is not installed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no results. I have check the path. Its fine.

try python -m pip install pypdf2 perhaps.

import is not all lowercase.

>>> import PyPDF2
>>>
>>> PyPDF2.__version__
'1.26.0'

[standenman]

python -m pip install pypdf2 does indeed get pypdf2, which I had been successful with at the time I posted. Then trying to import this module in that same virtual environment fails to recognize the "import" keyword.

Use snippsat's code in a python shell.

Got no idea what that means.

As your on Windows from cmd.

With all due respect, you are not answering or addressing my question at all, you are just throwing code at me.

[Yoriz]

snippsat is answering your question by showing the correct code to import the module.
You are being told that import is case sensitive, you currently have the import as all lower case as follows

import pypdf2

so try using the following instead which has only the y in lowercase and the rest of the letters are capital letters.

import PyPDF2

In this this thread that you started more than 3 years ago, you knew very well how to use PyPDF2 in your code. Why don't you do the same thing?
