I had the exact same problem and it was driving me crazy  Windows 10 and VS Code 1 49 1  Other answers talk about installing Selenium  but it s clear to me that you ve already did that  but you still get the ImportError  No module named  selenium   So  what s going on  Two things   You installed Selenium in this folder  Library Python 2 7 site-packages and selenium-2 46 0-py2 7 egg But you re probably running a version of Python  in which you didn t install Selenium  For instance   Library Python 3 8 site-packages    you won t find Selenium installed here and that s why the module isn t found   The solution  You have to install selenium in the same directory to the Python version you re using or change the interpreter to match the directory where Selenium is installed  In VS Code you change the interpreter here  at the bottom left corner of the screen   Ready  Now your Python interpreter should find the module

While pip install might work  Please check the project structure and see if there is no virtual environment already  It is a good practice to have one  created in the project  If there is  activate it with source  lt name of virtual env gt  bin activate  for MacOS  and venv Scripts Activate ps1  for Windows powershell  or venv Scripts activate bat  for Windows cmd   then pip install selenium into the environment  If it isn t  check if you have a virtual environment with virtualenv --version If it displays an error  install it with pip install virtualenv then create a virtual environment with virtualenv  lt name of virtual env gt   Both Windows and MacOS or python -m venv  lt name of virtual env gt   Windows Only  then activate the virtual environment with source  lt name of virtual env gt  bin activate  for MacOS  and venv Scripts Activate ps1  for Windows powershell  or venv Scripts activate bat  for Windows cmd   then install selenium with pip install -U selenium  it will install the latest version   If it doesn t display an error  just create a virtual environment in the project  activate it and install selenium inside of it

I had a similar problem  It turned out that I had an alias defined for python like so   alias python  usr bin python3  Apparently virtualenv does not check or update your aliases   So the solution for me was to remove the alias   unalias python  Now when I run python  I get the one from the virtual environment  Problem solved

Your IDE might be pointing to a different installation of Python than where Selenium is installed   I m using Eclipse and when I ran  quick auto-configure  under   Preferences   PyDev   Interpreters   Python Interpreter  it pointed to a different version of Python than where pip or easy install actually installed it   Selenium worked from the Terminal so I determined which version of python my Terminal was using by running this   python -c  import sys  print sys path     then had Eclipse point to that same location  which for me on my 10 11 Mac was here    Library Frameworks Python framework Versions Current bin python2 7   You can run  Advanced Auto-Config  as well to see all of the installed versions of python and select the one you want to use   When I selected that same location using  Advanced Auto-Config  it finally showed me the Selenium folder as it went through the configuration steps

If you have pip installed you can install selenium like so  pip install selenium or depending on your permissions  sudo pip install selenium For python3  sudo pip3 install selenium As you can see from this question pip vs easy install pip is a more reliable package installer as it was built to improve easy install  I would also suggest that when creating new projects you do so in virtual environments  even a simple selenium project  You can read more about virtual environments here  In fact pip is included out of the box with virtualenv
