'python3.6 -m pip install --upgrade azure-cosmos > 4.2.0 > from azure.cosmos import CosmosClient > ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure.cosmos'
When I try to import CosmosClient from azure.cosmos, I get a ModuleNotFoundError, like the azure-cosmos library was not installed:
$ python3.6 -c "from azure.cosmos import CosmosClient"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure.cosmos'
I'm using Linux with Python 3.6 I am trying to import CosmosClient from the azure-cosmos library. I have installed azure-cosmos in version 4.2.0 using python3.6 -m pip install --upgrade azure-cosmos, then:
$ python3.6 -m pip show azure-cosmos
Name: azure-cosmos
Version: 4.2.0
Summary: Microsoft Azure Cosmos Client Library for Python

Location: /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages
Requires: six, azure-core
The /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages folder is present in sys.path:
$ python3.6 -c "import sys; print([p for p in sys.path])"
['', '/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python36.zip', '/usr/lib/python3.6', '/usr/lib/python3.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages']
This is similar to a problem I had yesterday, where a lower version of the library from global dist-packages was shadowing a higher version in local dist-packages, but this time the azure-cosmos package is not installed globally in dist-packages:
$ apt-get remove python3-azure-cosmos
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
E: Unable to locate package python3-azure-cosmos
What am I missing here?
Solution 1:[1]
A possible workaround (but not a solution) to this and another similar issue I had a day before is to just use a python virtual environment, e.g. using pipenv:
$ pip3 install --upgrade pipenv
$ pipenv install azure-cosmos
$ pipenv run python -c "from azure.cosmos import CosmosClient"
And we have empty output so there is no import error anymore, meaning that it works.

Did you try pip list to see all the packages you installed?
