ImportError: No module named gensim.models

[azureskyL]

when I try to run train.py, the error occurs:
ljy@ubuntu:~/debug_seq2seq$ python bin/train.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bin/train.py", line 9, in
from lib.w2v_model import w2v
File "/home/ljy/debug_seq2seq/lib/w2v_model/w2v.py", line 4, in
from gensim.models import Word2Vec
ImportError: No module named gensim.models

But I has just install gensim by using
sudo easy_install -U gensim
Anyone could help me ?

[7633]

pip install gensim

[crystalajj]

I have the same problem when trying to import Word2Vec

[bss-t]

if you are using Jupyter notebook then you can try conda install gensim, that worked for me. Try using pip3 install gensim that works too

[eelectron]

sudo pip3 install -U gensim
Worked on my:
Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit
python3.5
Jupyter Notebook

[johntiger1]

One thing to note is this: if you run jupyter notebook from the Anaconda command prompt/terminal, then make sure you have an environment-specific jupyter notebook version! Otherwise, it will use the global notebook, and it won't have the environmental packages you want.

[puramchendrasekhar1]

getting same error in windows also , conda install gensim is not working bro!

[vimalrajayyappan]

Yes its not :(

[Rishabh97]

Try writing conda install -c anaconda gensim in the command prompt and then continue in the jupyter notebook.

[CognitiveClouds-Prasad]

It is 2019. I am facing the same issue.

[karlwbaker]

I'm having the issue right now. I installed gensim in my conda env in 3 different ways, including using conda install -c anaconda gensim. Each time it shows as successfully installed and present in the env, but when I try to import it in jupyter notebook I get the ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gensim' error.

But when I try to import gensim in a jupyter notebook in the evironment I get a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gensim' error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gensim'

I then tried pip install -U gensim.

This replaced the gensim 3.4 installed by conda install -c anaconda gensim with gensim 3.7 from pypi:

conda list

. . .
gensim                    3.7.3                    pypi_0    pypi
. . .

But still I get the error when I try to import

Have gone through similar steps like @karlwbaker but still no luck. :(

conda install -c conda-forge gensim worked for me.

I solved the problem I was having (above). Gensim was fine. The problem was that I didn't have jupyter installed in the Anaconda env so it was using the version from the base install, which was for a later version of python. Installing jupyter in the env with gensim solved the problem.

Added note:
A practice I learned from the comments to my SO question on this issue is to launch jupyter notebook with python -m jupyter notebook. Doing so seems to enforce a rule to only import modules that have been installed in the active env, rather than importing from the base env when the module does not exist in the active env. This makes explicit exactly which versions of libraries are being used. See https://stackoverflow.com/q/56910538/9677043 for further deets.

It is 2020. I tried all solutions above but still :(

I also face the same issue.
