I installed openpyxl
with
$ pip install openpyxl
when I try the command
from openpyxl import Workbook
I get
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
from openpyxl import Workbook
ImportError: No module named 'openpyxl'

I had the same problem solved using instead of pip install :
sudo apt-get install python-openpyxl
sudo apt-get install python3-openpyxl
The sudo command also works better for other packages.
If you don't use conda, just use :
pip install openpyxl
If you use conda, I'd recommend :
conda install -c anaconda openpyxl
instead of simply conda install openpyxl
Because there are issues right now with conda updating (see GitHub Issue #8842) ; this is being fixed and it should work again after the next release (conda 4.7.6)
In order to keep track of dependency issues, I like to use the conda installer, which simply boils down to:
conda install openpyxl
If you're using Python3, then install:
python3 -m pip install --user xlsxwriter
This will run pip with the appropriate version of Python3. If you run bare pip3 and have many versions of Python install, it will still fail leading to more confusion.
The --user flag will allow to install as a regular user and no require root.
You have to install it explixitly using the python package manager as
I still was not able to import 'openpyxl' after successfully installing it via both conda and pip. I discovered that it was installed in '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages', so this https://stackoverflow.com/a/59861933/10794682 worked for me:
import sys
sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages')
Hope this might be useful for others.
