I have a notebook in python3.9 I get the ModuleNotFoundError trying to import wordcloud even after having it installed in my python3.9 site-packages.

Any reason why this is? Thanks

Are you sure that the package was installed successfully? Did you install it in a virtual environment? Do you see "Python 3.9" in the upper right corner of your notebook?

@pafk Yes I have python3.9 at the right hand side of my notebook. And no I didn't install it in a virtual environment as I didn't find any way of setting up my notebook to use a virtual engine.

So I installed the package in the .local folder.

How did you install it into .local -- was it by using pip3.9 install --user workcloud? Just copying the files there would not work.

@giles I didn't copy files. I am sure is an install not a copy job.

1. Opened a console in the root

2. /usr/local/bin/python3.9 -m pip install --user wordcloud

After doing so you can see the package is installed in the .locales/lib/python3.9/site-packages

I think I figured it out. The python version was the problem. Works are switching kernel to python3.7

That's really weird -- do you think it might be a Python version compatibility for wordcloud? The install command you used was completely correct.
