Unable to import tweepy (Python 3.7 - tweepy 3.5)

Question

I'm facing a problem trying to import tweepy library in my code, I've tried to uninstall it and then install it again but I still get the same problem.

This is my code (error) and command line:

Thank you.

Answer 1

Try to install this version instead

pip install git+https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy

This command will install the GitHub's latest version

Answer 2

Tweepy will not work on Python 3.7 (see reasons in below github post), instead if you are using Anaconda, create an alternative environment in Python 3.6.7 and it will work. :-)

I've been experiencing similar idiosyncrasies with wptools and other packages.

Answer 3

Thank you everyone, I just downloaded Python 3.6 and solved the problem :)

Answer 4

Tweepy doesn't work with python 3.7 yet.

Similar question: Having trouble installing Tweepy

Official documentation says : https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy

Python 2.6 and 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 & 3.6 are supported.

As suggested by Samuel. Create a virtual environment I would suggest go with 3.6.

And then pip install tweepy in that environment.

Answer 5

Try using a virtual environment, I had the same issue when i was still using windows.
