How do i change the directory from which i import modules?

Viewed 54

I tried using pip to install some packages, and I found that they are installed to C:\Users\joaqu\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages.

Now I want to use Visual Studio 2022 to run my Python code that imports that module. But it fails with an error that says "No module named '(module name)'".

How do I fix this?

Sometimes the IDE is using a different installation of Python than the one you want to use. (It may have come with the IDE.)

In this case you need to know how to change the interpreter in the IDE that you use or how to install packages in the IDE's version of Python.

in Visual Studio Code, you can go to to File -> Preferences -> Settings, write python in the search area, and copy and paste the path for the Python that you want into the Python: Default Interpreter Path field.
