Python import sounddevice as sd (ImportError: No module name sounddevice) about python-sounddevice HOT 6 CLOSED

$ pip freeze
cffi==1.5.2
Pillow==3.1.1
PyAudio==0.2.9
pycparser==2.14
sounddevice==0.3.2

I show all of the above modules installed, using pip freeze, but I still get this same error

import sounddevice as sd
The error:
ImportError: No module name sounddevice

Do you have different Python versions installed?

If yes, you have to install the module on each of them.

Or probably your "independent python program" uses a virtual environment?

Hello I solved the problem by removing --user when installing with pip. So the install command will be pip install sounddevice without --user.

from python-sounddevice.

@tondy That's strange, it should work with the --user option.

Did you install the library with the same user account as you are using it later?
Did you happen to use sudo in any of the commands?

The reason for the --user option is that you don't need sudo (or the root password) at all.

@GarrettHartley note that you may have different versions of pip installed. You may also have pip3 or pip-3.5 or similar.

To make sure to use the correct Python version for pip-installing, you can also use:

python3 -m pip install sounddevice

from python-sounddevice.

I got it to work by including '#!/usr/bin/env python3' at the top of my file. Sorry this was sorta a silly issue.

@GarrettHartley No problem, I know it can be confusing to handle those different versions. I'm glad that it works now for you.

@tondy Any news from your side?
