Module is not found

I used this command line in the terminal to get the module:

$ pip install yahoo-finance

I used this code to check the module was imported correctly, but it says there no module called yahoo_finance

from yahoo_finance import Share
yahoo = Share('YHOO')
print (yahoo.get_price())

What am I missing?

pip python

Check if you use the right version of python

pip install install library to modules of python 2 while your code is using python3.

Try to use

$ pip3 install yahoo-finance

The main reason that yahoo-finance doesn't works, because it's not maintained, latest commit for yahoo-finance package is 4 years ago. But also you can use a maintained one which is yfinance

To install yfinance with pip;

pip install yfinance

With conda installer;

conda install -c ranaroussi yfinance

You can find more info about yfinance in this github repository.

I would recommend installing pyenv to take care of Python's installation. It will allow you to install Python (which will automatically come with its version of pip), and manage different Python versions in your system.

pyenv install 3.8.0
pyenv global 3.8.0  # sets your global Python to 3.8.0

For the time being, what you will want to do is use:

python -m pip install yahoo-finance

This will call the pip version for the specific python version that you are running under the python command -- which can be python2 or python3, depending on how your PATH var is set.
