I use pip to install pyautogui, but it still points me "No module named pyautogui"

  1. My main.py module needs to import:
import os
import sys
import time
import threading
import pyautogui

But when I run the main.py module, it shows:

./main.py: line 5: import: command not found
./main.py: line 6: import: command not found
./main.py: line 7: import: command not found
./main.py: line 8: import: command not found
./main.py: line 9: import: command not found
  1. AND after I install pip3 install pyautogui; it successfully installed.
Requirement already satisfied: pyautogui in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages (0.9.35)

BUT when I run the main.py, it still shows:

ImportError: No module named pyautogui

Python 3.8.8

I think there is something wrong with the download location, but I don't know how to fix it. Does anyone faced the similar problem?

How are you running your code? I think you are running it as executable without specifying the python path. So your OS is executing the file as a shell script. If your file name is code.py, then you can run it as an executable file in Linux by first marking it as executable by user using this command: chmod +x code.py and then run using ./code.py. But to do this you need to add your python path at the top as a shebang line. Also specify what encoding to use in the next line as follows.

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

You can find your python path using this command on Linux: which python or which python3. Or just simply run the code using python code.py. In my Linux, python is used for python 2 and python3 is for python 3 so depending on your OS the command may change.
