ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘packaging’

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'packaging'
skanykyn_muri

I am a Python developer currently working on a project that requires me to use the packaging library. However, when I try to import it using the command “import packaging”, I get a “ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘packaging'” error. This error has been frustrating for me, and I have tried several solutions that I found online, but I haven’t been successful in resolving it.
I have checked that the packaging module is installed in my system by running the command “pip show packaging”, and I can see that it is installed. I have also checked my Python path by running the command “import sys; print(sys.path)”, and the path to the packaging module is included. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the packaging library, but the issue persists.
I am not sure where to go from here, and I am hoping someone can help me figure out what is causing the issue. I am using Python 3.8.5 and pip 20.2.3 on a Windows 10 machine. I am new to Python development and would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this error. I have included the code snippet that is causing the error below:

import packaging
print("Packaging version:", packaging.__version__)

    One possible solution to your problem with the “no module named packaging” error is to try upgrading or reinstalling the “pip” package. This package is used to install and manage Python packages and dependencies, and sometimes issues can arise with it that cause errors like the one you’re experiencing.
    Here’s an example command you can try in your terminal or command prompt:

    “`python
    pip install –upgrade pip
    “`

    This should upgrade your pip package to the latest version, which may resolve the issue. If that doesn’t work, you can also try uninstalling and reinstalling the package with these commands:

    “`python
    pip uninstall pip
    “`

    “`python
    easy_install pip
    “`

    These steps should fix most issues related to the pip package and resolve your “no module named packaging” error. If you continue to experience issues, feel free to ask for additional assistance. Good luck!

    Hello there! I see that you’re having trouble with the ‘no module named packaging’ error in your Python code. This error typically occurs when the ‘packaging’ module is missing from your Python installation. Fortunately, this is an easy fix!
    To resolve this error, you can install the ‘packaging’ module using pip. Open up your command prompt or terminal and run the following command:
    pip install packaging
    This will install the ‘packaging’ module to your Python installation, and you should be good to go!
    If you’re still encountering issues, it may be that you have multiple Python installations on your machine and you need to specify the correct Python version with which to install the ‘packaging’ module. You can do this by specifying the Python version number before the ‘pip’ command. For example, if you want to install the ‘packaging’ module for Python 3.x, you would run:
    python3 -m pip install packaging
    If you’re on Windows and the above command doesn’t work, you may need to specify the full path to your Python installation directory. For example:
    C:Python36python.exe -m pip install packaging
    If you’re still encountering issues after trying these steps, try checking that your PYTHONPATH environment variable is set correctly. This variable tells your system where to look for installed Python modules. You can check the value of this variable by running the following command:
    echo %PYTHONPATH%
    If the value is not set correctly, you can set it using the following command (replacing “path/to/your/python/installation” with the correct path on your system):
    set PYTHONPATH=path/to/your/python/installation
    I hope this helps you to resolve your ‘no module named packaging’ error! Don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions.
