Unable to import 'selenium' pylint(import-error) (solution)

I had this error while I was working on my assignment using python 3.7 in Visual Studio Code. I tried to comment in some previous stackoverflow posts but it doesn't allow me to comment. So I'm sharing the solution I found in this post.

In my case it was a bit different. My vscode's interpreter was pointing to another version of python. To change the python3 interpreter, open command palette(ctrl+shift+p) and search for, Python : Select Interpreter. Now change that to the correct path and it is good to go.

After searching for a solution I came up with the following, using also steps from this link.

  1. Create virtual environment (venv) in the same folder your python file is located C:\YourFolderPathHere>python3 -m venv nameOfYourVenv
  2. Activate your python virtual environment C:\YourFolderPathHere>nameOfYourVenv\Scripts\activate.bat
  3. Make sure selenium and pylint are installed within this virtual environment
    (nameOfYourVenv) C:\YourFolderPathHere>pip install selenium
    (nameOfYourVenv) C:\YourFolderPathHere>pip install pylint
  4. Launch VS Code from cmd
    (nameOfYourVenv) C:\YourFolderPathHere>code .

Other solutions weren't helpful for me but this worked so I hope it'll be useful for you as well. :)
