How to install mechanize for Python 2.7?

I saved mechanize in my Python 2.7 directory. But when I type import mechanize into the Python shell, I get an error message that reads:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "开发者_开发百科<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
    import mechanize
ImportError: No module named mechanize

---

using pip:

pip install mechanize

or download the mechanize distribution archive, open it, and run:

python setup.py install

---

Try this on Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install python-mechanize

---

You need to follow the installation instructions and not just download the files into your Python27 directory. It has to be installed in the site-packages directory properly, which the directions tell you how to do.

I dont know why , but "pip install mechanize" didnt work for me . easy install worked anyway . Try this :

sudo easy_install mechanize

---

Here's what I did which worked:

yum install python-pip
pip install -U multi-mechanize

---

sudo pip-2.7 install mechanize

---

You need the actual package (the directory containing __init__.py) stored somewhere that's in your system's PYTHONPATH. Normally, packages are distributed with a directory above the package directory, containing setup.py (which you should use to install the package), documentation, etc. This directory is not a package. Additionally, your Python27 directory is probably not in PYTHONPATH; more likely one or more subdirectories of it are.

install dependencies on Debian/Ubuntu:

$ sudo apt-get install python-pip python-matplotlib

install multi-mechanize from PyPI using Pip:

$ sudo pip install -U multi-mechanize

---

You need to install the python-setuptools package:

apt-get install python-setuptools on Debian-ish systems yum install python-setuptools on Redhat-ish systems

Use sudo if applicable

It seems you need to follow the installation instructions in Daniel DiPaolo's answer to try one of the two approaches below

1. install easy_install first by running "easy_install mechanize", or
2. download the zipped package mechanize-0.2.5.tar.gz/mechanize-0.2.5.zip and (IMPORTANT) unzip the package to the directory where your .py file resides (i.e. "the resulting top-level directory" per the instructions). Then install the package by running "python setup.py install".

Hopefully that will resolve your issue!

pip install mechanize

mechanize supports only python 2.

For python3 refer https://stackoverflow.com/a/31774959/4773973 for alternatives.
