No module named 'aspose.words';

[Antonet99]

Using Python 3.9.19 with pyenv on Intel macOS, but the same happens with 3.10.14. Installed aspose with "pip install aspose-words".
Uninstalled and reinstalled several times, but every time i try to use the code

`import aspose.words as aw

doc = aw.Document("input.doc")

doc.save("output.pdf")`

it doesn't work -> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'aspose.words'; 'aspose' is not a package.
Any advice?

@Antonet99 Please try configuring https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html and installing Aspose.Words on that venv.

Nothing changes, always the same error -> import aspose.words as aw ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'aspose.words'; 'aspose' is not a package

@Antonet99 It looks like you are trying to install Aspose.Words in global python instead of 3.9. I checked Python 3.9 with PyCharm and configured and installed lib correctly. I selected python 3.9 as the interpreter in the PyCharm settings, it was also set as the system interpreter in the PyCharm settings. Then, to make sure I was installing the libs correctly, I used 'pip3.9 install aspose-words' to install Aspose.Words.

@Antonet99 You can also try to test it by running the following commands:
'python3 -m pip list'
'python3.9 -m pip list'

Why was this question closed? Was it solved? I am having the same issue. I set a venv, activated it, installed using pip install aspose-words, and when trying to do import aspose.words as aw, still showing the same issue as @Antonet99 notified. I did pip list (of course, environment still active), and it shows up in the list though.

One more detail, doing simply import aspose does not give any error. It is just when trying to do import aspose.words.
And just one more detail, if I do

import aspose
aspose.words

A different error appears: AttributeError: partially initialized module 'aspose' has no attribute 'words' (most likely due to a circular import)

Any idea what could be happening?
Thanks in advance!

@fmr-itam In what environment do you have the problem? Did the pip install aspose-words completed successfully on your side?

[fmr-itam]

I am using Python v3.13.7. Installing aspose-words did not give any errors with pip install aspose-words:

...
Installing collected packages: aspose-words
Successfully installed aspose-words-25.8.0

Could it be related to the Python version?

Okay I tried again from a new command line and this time it worked. I was running from PyCharm, so maybe the error was that it was not loading yet all the packages from my environment, or that I ran from a different interpreter by mistake.
Everything fine now. Thanks for you time @AlexNosk !.
