This issue can be generated by Symantec End Point Protection  SEP   And I suspect most EPP products could potentially impact your running of scripts   If SEP is disabled  the script will run instantly   Therefore you may need to update the SEP policy to not block python scripts accessing stuff

Very possible the version of pip you re using isn t installing to the version of python you re using   I have a box where this is the case     try   which python  python --version  pip -V   If it looks like pip doesn t match your python  then you probably have something like the multiple versions of python and pip I found on my box      root sdpipeline student   locate bin pip   home student class bin pip   home student class bin pip-2 7   usr bin pip   usr bin pip-python   As long as I use  home student class bin pip  2 7 that matches my python version on that box   then my imports work fine   You can also try installing pip from source  http   www pip-installer org en latest installing html  There s probably a better way to do this  I m still learning my way around too  but that s how I solved it -- hope it helps

ok to  resolve this First install dns for python by cmd using  pip install dnspython  if you use conda first type activate and then you will go in base  in cmd  and then type above code   it will install it in anaconda site package  copy the location of that site package folder from cmd  and open it   Now copy all dns folders and paste them in python site package folder  it will resolve it     actually the thing is our code is not able to find the specified package in python site package bcz it is in anaconda site package  so you have to COPY IT  not cut
