Spark seems to be installed but can't import pyspark module

Question

My pip install pyspark worked, I get a message in my command prompt that SparkSession available as 'spark'.

However, when I do:

from pyspark import SparkContext

it gives me a:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyspark'

What's the problem and how do I fix it?

are you on linux or windows ? do you know the path to the spark directory? — Anahcolus

You should install findspark modeule by pip then try:

import findspark findspark.init('<your spark home directory for example /home/spark>')

then you can import spark modules.
