ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'telegram' after pip install

Question

After running pip install python-telegram-bot, I'm getting this error that the 'telegram' module is not found.

Under pip list I see that my python-telegram-bot package is installed version 13.2

Is anyone else getting this error?

Indeed it might be due to different Python installation. I am using Mac which comes with python 2. I installed a separate python using brew and I forgot about it. If you install python using brew, you can check the location of python binary using "brew list [email protected]". – Salaried

Answer 1

pip3 install python-telegram-bot

Install it in outside of virutal environment in terminal. Also unintall telegram. python-telegram-bot is sufficient for Telegram bot. In my case it resolved my issue.

I had the same problem, this is how I solved it:

1. Open Windows PowerShell as an administrator.
2. Run the following command: Get-ExecutionPolicy.
3. If the previous command shows it is set to restricted, change it to allow remote sign using Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned.
4. Open your terminal and run pip install python-telegram-bot to install the bot again.
