ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'box'

[kwalkerk]

I get the following error when I have this line in my code:
from box import Box

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'box'

I've installed on RasPi Zero using pip3 install box. Also tried the regular pip install box.

Am running Python 3 3.7.3

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,
Ken

pip install python-box

box is reserved or something and couldn't get that name on pypi, so have to type out python-box for the install.

[kwalkerk]

I did that. No joy. Same error message

When running python, are you calling python3 and did pip3 install python-box?

[kwalkerk]

Yes to both

Can you paste the full output of:

pip3 install --upgrade python-box
python3 -c "import box" 

[kwalkerk]

Here’s the output: $ pip3 install --upgrade python-box Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple Requirement already up-to-date: python-box in ./.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages (5.4.1) $ python3 -c "import box" $ This lead me to the solution. The program I run must be run under “sudo”. When I installed the package I did not use “sudo pip3 install —upgrade python-box”. Once I installed it that way, all was well. Sorry to have wasted your time with my ignorance. Thanks for your quick help!
