Is this normal?

Hi everyone

sandtrix

I am a newbie so bear with me, I watched a youtube video on how to install PYAutoGUI, I believe its installed it correctly but now I want to upload the library I get the error message

>>>import pyautogui
Traceback (most recent call ):
File "<stdin> line 1 in <module>
ModuleNotFound: No module name 'pyautogui'

is this normal?

Thank you for your help.

Check the version of python you installed it for. The error is saying it's not installed.
Best practice is to create a virtual environment activate it and install there.

It is normal if you have not installed pyautogui. pyautogui is not part of the standard python distribution and must be installed separately.

This is what happens when I type your command on my computer:

Output:
PS C:\Users\djhys\Documents\python\musings> python

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pyautogui
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyautogui'
>>>

Now I install pyautogui. pyauto gui is a pretty big install, so I'm leaving out much of the output.

Output:
PS C:\Users\djhys\Documents\python\musings> pip install pyautogui

And now I try to import the module again.
