I'm trying to run a script using the backport of Enum for python 2.7.8, through Cygwin. When the script is run, it outputs the generic error of Import Error: No module named Enum . pip-2.7 install enum34 says that it's already installed pip-2.7 install enum34 --upgrade gave the same error python --version shows 2.7.8 pip freeze shows enum=1.0.4 pip uninstall enum34 / pip install enum34 produced no difference What can I try next?

Import Error for module that pip reports as installed

I'm trying to run a script using the backport of Enum for python 2.7.8, through Cygwin.

When the script is run, it outputs the generic error of Import Error: No module named Enum.

What can I try next?

It's a bit confusing, but you need to import from enum, not enum34:

Here's an example from the docs:

from enum import Enum
class Color(Enum):
    red = 1
    green = 2
    blue = 3

You didn't paste your code, but I'm guessing that you wrote import Enum with a capital E. Try again with a lower-case "e": import enum
