ImportError: No module named prawcore.exceptions

I get this error when trying to run my script. It mentions line 8, which is this:

from prawcore.exceptions import PrawcoreException

Here are all the include statements:

Which version of Python are you using? I think we only have prawcore installed by default for Python 3.6. If you're using a different Python version, you can install new modules by following these instructions.

Are you running it from the editor? Or from a bash command line? If it's the latter, could you try running pip3.6 show prawcore and let us know what it prints out?

Ah, I see that you did actually try to post that information earlier and it got caught in a spam filter. I've unspammed it now, so it appears above my previous post.

I believe that prawcore is a different package, so you'll need to install it separately if you're using Python 2.7:

pip2.7 install --user prawcore

Ok i installed it but now i get this error:

exception __init__() got multiple values for keyword argument 'user_agent'

You're passing the user_agent keyword argument into a constructor multiple times. Find the line that that exception is pointing to and remove one of the user_agent= arguments.

I'm not passing the user_agent keyword argument into a constructor multiple times

Ok, then look at the traceback and follow the execution back to try to work out where the extra argument is coming from .
