It's the universe trying to save you from a lot of future headache by telling you to not bother with Python and learn some other language instead...

Lesson number one for a new dev: read fucking error messages. Understand them. If that fails, google them. Then fix the issue.

If you can't import it, you probably don't have it installed.

are you working with some video tutorial or something ? its very necessary to work with something like that. instead of reading off a pdf or online blog. that way it's very hard to make mistakes

@skkywalker I don't know, depends a little where your aspirations lay. I just don't think Python should be one of the first languages to learn, based purely on the struggles I've seen of those who've learned Python first to then go on and learn other languages (not universally applicable of course, but just a personal observation).

I recognize the problem. I think that it is the same I have struggled with. Yes, you need to install the library in your environment. The last time I struggled with it I found Pyenv, a tool for managing your Python environments. I don’t remember if you used pip or pyenv to install libraries, but I think it saves some time.

PyCharm supports most of stable Python virtual environments. You'd better choose one for every new project.

Can you post screenshot or error msg.

Also tell me python version
