ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'netmiko'

[dharris247networks]

I am attempting to run a python script within Ubuntu 22.0.4. I have run the same script successfully from my windows machine but when I run from Ubuntu I get the following error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'netmiko'. I have confirmed that the module is installed via the following:

I am looking for any assistance you might be able to give!

Relevant Python code

from netmiko import ConnectHandler
from getpass import getpass
import time, sys, getpass, paramiko

[ktbyers]

You need to post your full Python exception stack trace.

This type of issue is typically caused by using a different Python (i.e. the Python that you are executing is not the Python that Netmiko is installed in).

Hello,

Thank you for your response. This is what I get when I use pdb:

What does the following command show?

/usr/lib/python3.8 -m pip list

[dharris247networks]

I get this!
/usr/bin/python3.8: No module named pip

[ktbyers]

Okay...so whatever pip you are using in the first command is not the Python that you are actually executing.

For the Python that you are executing, you have not installed Netmiko.

[dharris247networks]

I appreciate the help! I think you are correct. It appears that Netmiko is installed for version 3.11. Is there a way to install python for a specific version. Like if I want to use python3.8 how can I install netmiko specifically for python3.8?

[ktbyers]

Fix your no pip issue and then just python3.8 -m pip install netmiko (though you really should create a Python virtual environment and use that Python instead).

[dharris247networks]

Awesome! Using the Python virtual environment resolved my issue. Thank you for the assistance!
