No module named 'redis' with python code

Question

I have checked

redis-server --version
Redis server v=4.0.8 sha=00000000:0 malloc=jemalloc-4.0.3 bits=64 build=4d30adc486b198e5

If I try to run my code

  File "app.py", line 5, in <module>
    import redis
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'redis'

Why?

@SuaMorales not necessarily. There is no reason to use sudo if you don't have to. In fact, I would say it's bad practice to default to using sudo to install python packages. — user3483203

@chrisz recommended in the python docs: pypi.python.org/pypi/redis . Generally agree, tho — Sua Morales

I was having the same problem running from inside a Jupyter Notebook. Very strange, if I used !pip freeze or !conda list it would throw the same error.

I eventually stumbled upon this post: https://jakevdp.github.io/blog/2017/12/05/installing-python-packages-from-jupyter/ And the code snippet that ultimately worked:

# Install a pip package in the current Jupyter kernel
import sys
!{sys.executable} -m pip install redis
