ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'googlemaps'

Question

I am a newcomer to Django python programming. Now I am working on the server side. I want to use google maps API, my view.py is like this:

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.shortcuts import HttpResponse
from googlemaps import *
# Create your views
gmaps = googlemaps.Client(key='A')

def index(request):
    if request.method=="GET":
        geocode_result = gmaps.geocode('1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA')
        return geocode_result

Also, I have already installed 'googlemaps' using pip. And when I import it in IDE, nothing goes wrong. But when I want to start the server to test the code, the server won't run and tells me ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'googlemaps', I am confused that I have already downloaded it and added it in settings.py, importing in IDE also seems fine. But where I did wrong makes it fail to start the server?

Solution

Change from googlemaps import * to import googlemaps

What from googlemaps import * does is that it imports all the contents of the googlemaps module. import googlemaps imports the whole googlemaps module as a whole.

Are you using virtualenv or something like that? It seems you are not serving on the same environment you installed the library

I am not using that, is the environment of anaconda and python itself like virtualenv?

That don't work so I changed to import *, also won't work

Thank you for answering, but I have just tried, now, I can't even import googlemaps. I am using Visual studio, and it tells me that it can't analyze 'googlemaps', the IntelliSense may be lost. But sometimes, it can be imported correctly, but finally, when I want to start server, the result is the same.

@ParthSharma What does googlecode have to do with the googlemaps module?
