Web3 not being recognized in the code

[ChristianG77]

Hi,

I installed the latest Build Tools and successfully completed pip install web3, however I'm receiving a message saying, 'Import "web3" could not be resolved.'

Also the web3 portion at the top of the code, 'from web3 import Web3', is not highlighting in green and is underlined.

Has anyone else had/solved this problem?

Thanks for your help.

if you run again pip install web3 what is printed? which IDE are you using? are you using a virtual environment?

Hi, I also faced the same issue of "Import "web3" could not be resolved", when I entered 'pip install web3', I was also presented a long string of errors including "error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/". I followed some instructions on forums an downloaded and installed the Visual Studio Build Tools and tried doing "pip install web3'" again, it seemed to have installed but when I key in 'from web3 import Web3' into the code, I still the got message "Import "web3" could not be resolved".

Hi @cromewar, thanks for your reply.

I figured out the solution to this issue. To whomever experienced it, you may try the following:

1. Install Visual Studio Build Tools here
2. Select the C++ Desktop development Workload for installation (should include "Visual C++ Build tools core features", "MSVC toolset C++ 2019 v142 (x86,x64)", "Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable Update" and "Windows 10 SDK (10.0.17763.0) for Desktop C++")
3. Finish installation and reboot laptop
4. Open Visual Studio Code and retry pip install web3

That should do it :)

Thanks a lot!

Thank you! This worked for me. Took about 6 GB of storage

@CSalle
It's also worked for me! Thanks a lot, i've been stuck here for over 3 days. I chose a little more choices, it's about 12 GB of storage for me.

This solved my issue. I had a couple of versions of python and the IDE was using an older version I just changed it and boom, all errors disappeared !Thanks @cromewar
