ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torch._C'

[aleSuglia]

Hi there,

I have downloaded the PyTorch pip package CPU version for Python 3.5 from the official webpage. I downloaded it using wget and I renamed the package in order to install the package on ArchLinux with Python 3.6. After that, I used the pip install command to install the package and no error messages are shown. The torchvision package is correctly installed.

If I try to import the torch module using import torch in an ipython session or in a Python session I receive the following error:

Python 3.6.0 (default, Jan 16 2017, 12:12:55) 
[GCC 6.3.1 20170109] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import torch
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/torch/__init__.py", line 45, in <module>
    from torch._C import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torch._C'

Any ideas?

Best regards,
Alessandro

Solution

the problem is that you have a folder called torch in the same directory which is being picked up. Do this: cd .. (to change directory), and then start python and import torch, it should work.

---

[Edited to add the snippet above, rather than buried down in the thread]

torch._C is the name of our CPython extension (i.e. a C shared library loaded by python). I'm afraid they might not be binary compatible across Python versions. Can you show me the output of ls /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/torch/?

[soumith]

you cannot rename pip wheels like that and expect them to work.
This is because the C extensions are named in a way that's specific to the python version.

We shall include pip wheels for python 3.6 from the next release.

[aleSuglia]

@soumith You're definitely right. I have tried it because this procedure works for TensorFlow like a charm :D

@apaszke Here your are:

If I can give you any other information about the issue feel free to ask, I'm happy to help you!

[apaszke]

Yeah, so you can see that there's _C.cpython-35m which means it will be loaded only by Python 3.5. As a quick hack you could try renaming _C, _dl, and _thnn/_THNN to regular .so files (without that cpython-version-artch-platform part, just _C.so). But it's a hack, we don't provide further support if it fails 😄

[aleSuglia]

Thank you for your help! I'll try it 👍

[phenixcx]

Hi, I met the same problem when installing PyTorch with Python 2.7.13 和 Anaconda 4.3.0 (64-bit). Would you give me a hint?

The installing way is written as follows:
git clone https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py install

After that, the system told me that PyTorch is installed. Then I wrote down 'python' in the prompt command line. At last, 'import torch' was entered in the python command line. Unfortunately , I got the following information:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "torch/init.py", line 45, in
from torch._C import *
ImportError: No module named _C

The package /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages has no torch package. The pytorch has a package torch, and has the following files:

[soumith]

you are not using anaconda python, as it is looking for packages in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages. Look at the output of which python and see why it's not the anaconda python

[phenixcx]

The output of 'which python' is '/root/anaconda2/bin/python'. Just now, I also wrote down the '/root/anaconda2/bin/python' in the command line, and use 'import torch' in the python command line. The result is the same:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "torch/init.py", line 45, in
from torch._C import *
ImportError: No module named _C

[phenixcx]

In addition, I installed torch 7 in another package before installing pytorch. The OS is centos 7.
Thanks Soumith for help beforehand.

[soumith]

@phenixcx the problem is that you have a folder called torch in the same directory which is being picked up. Do this: cd .. (to change directory), and then start python and import torch, it should work.

[phenixcx]

Great! It really work. Thank you very much. The package locations make pytorch confused.

[iassael]

@soumith genius observation!

[Ada-Wu]

@soumith your suggestion really helps! confused by this problem for a long time. Hope everyone who has the same problem can find this solution successfully.

[ghost]

@soumith Thank you so much I was getting crazy over this error

[kiminh]

@soumith Thanks a lot!

[puzzledqs]

Solved my problem too! Thanks @soumith

[hughperkins]

Gah, I hit this point twice so far :-P . By the way, the issue also arises if you dutifully cd into home directory, but the script itself is in the cloned pytorch folder.

[int8]

oh god, that was it

[DarryNobi]

worked！

[TomorrowIsAnOtherDay]

worked!

I got the same error after built from source of branch v0.3.0

My system is OSX10.12, python version is 3.6.1. I don't use anaconda python. I installed all the optional dependency through pip3. I disabled CUDA support by export NO_CUDA=1

Besides these warnings, the installation looks ok to me.
The pytorch source is in ~/pytorch/ directory, I ran python in the ~/Desktop
Any thoughts what may cause this failure of importing?

[lambdawill]

@Jonbean Hi, I just clone the lateset version of pytorch from master branch. And I have successfully installed it. Why not try master branch?

[EduBrQ]

i`m having the same issue:

ImportErrorTraceback (most recent call last)
in ()
----> 1 import torch

ImportError: No module named 'torch'

i`m using jupyter notebook after install the pytorch, and i dont know how to solve that problem.
note: i use the tensorflow without this problem.

Could you please make this comment more visible?

e.g. @soumith by editing your 3rd post in this thread?

It's the second time I arrive in this thread and it's the second time that's the solution...

[soumith]

@talesa added the solution to the 2nd post in the thread: #574 (comment)

[PJvG]

I am having a similar issue. And the solution here doesn't seem to work for me.

I started following the Practical Deep Learning for Coders course at http://course.fast.ai/. I use Windows 7, and Jupyter Notebook started through Anaconda Navigator.

When doing imports at the start of the lesson, I get the following error:

~\Documents\Fast AI\fastai\courses\dl1\fastai\torch_imports.py in <module>()

I also tried to do import torch in python outside the Jupyter Notebook:

And I tried it after deactivating my fastai channel:

Can someone help me with this problem?

@PJvG this seems to be a Windows-related problem. Might be better asking in #494

[karanmurthy7]

@PJvG Did you find a solution to your issue?

[gauravgoenka]

@phenixcx the problem is that you have a folder called torch in the same directory which is being picked up. Do this: cd .. (to change directory), and then start python and import torch, it should work.

i am on windows and gets the same error any help to solve

did you find a solution?

Hello everyone!
I have the same problem but solutions do not fit
I user Raspberry pi 3 model B. Exiting the directory does not give a result.

Not sure if you managed to tackle this @BulNik , but once you built the wheel, it will be in pytorch/dist folder (whl extension). If you want to link it properly in your path, just need to do this:

pip3 install pytorch/dist/torch-1.6.0a0+68f23d5-cp37-cp37m-linux_armv7l.whl

replace the wheel file's name with yours

It works on my Raspberry Pi 4 Model B at least. Let me know if you're still having issues!

[Gaussian01]

After doing the cd... approach, Strangely, restarting and resetting all in my google colabs resolved this issue. Maybe trying this first first could save time. Not sure why though
[No module named 'torch._C' ]

[jstalahua]

Yeah, so you can see that there's _C.cpython-35m which means it will be loaded only by Python 3.5. As a quick hack you could try renaming _C, _dl, and _thnn/_THNN to regular .so files (without that cpython-version-artch-platform part, just _C.so). But it's a hack, we don't provide further support if it fails

Hi, I made that. And I have a new error :(

Hello, I have the same issue with my python script. I'm on a AWS EC2 instance and using Python3.3.9, with torch==1.9.1 and transformers==4.11.3.

Here is my python script:

import torch
from transformers import pipeline, AutoModelForSequenceClassification, BertJapaneseTokenizer, BertTokenizer

And here is the error message. As you can see, it successfully import torch, because I ran this script from a parent folder: python political-tweet-scraper/test.py. But the 2nd line, where I import a bunch of packages from transformers, I get the errorNo module named 'torch._C'.

[ndvbd]

Same problem here, python 3.10.6, when doing:
from torch import nn

[frgfm]

Hi @jstalahua @Makoto1021 @ndvbd 👋

Regarding your respective issues, in all the cases I've seen so far:

• this specific error means there is a missing folder inside the library folder
• this folder gets created when the library is built (either if you build from source or if you installed an existing build)
• another possible thing is that you did install pytorch correctly, but the command is run where there is a folder called "torch" as well (if you cloned the repo, but you do have an installed pytorch version on the side, this error will pop for instance). Because local folders/files have priority in import order before installed libs

So I suggest checking if the problem occurs if you run the command where there is a "torch" folder (if so, run the command somewhere else). And otherwise, install an existing build 😄

Hi @monajalal 👋

That indeed looks like the same situation. Have you checked my suggestions above?

Hi!

Can someone help me with the following error? I was trying to install xformers from taking instructions from here and I don't understand where I am going wrong.

:\Stable Diffusion Automatic 1111\stable-diffusion-webui-master\xformers>python setup.py build Traceback (most recent call last): File "E:\Stable Diffusion Automatic 1111\stable-diffusion-webui-master\xformers\setup.py", line 24, in <module> from torch.utils.cpp_extension import ( File "C:\Users\prab-zsbch1060\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\torch\utils\__init__.py", line 4, in <module> from .throughput_benchmark import ThroughputBenchmark File "C:\Users\prab-zsbch1060\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\torch\utils\throughput_benchmark.py", line 2, in <module> import torch._C ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torch._C'

Would really appreciate your help!

Hi @generalistbloke 👋

Have you checked my previous answer above?
To check this, open a Python shell somewhere else and try to import pytorch.
If you get the same message, you need to install/reinstall pytorch. If you don't see the message, you most likely have a folder called "torch" in your PATH or at the same location that you got the initial error!

I hope this helps ✌️

Hi, I have been trying to work with sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L12-v2 from hugging face. I pip installed it using the command from hugging face, though I am unable to use it. I am using vscode and am in a virtual environment created using the venv command. Moreover I am using python3.11.7 I tried running the following python code:

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

and get the following error:

ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _C: The specified module could not be found.

Could anyone advise on what I may be doing wrong?

Hey @aayushjACN,

Have you tried the solutions in this thread?
Generally speaking, this is only a problem of improper installation of the library (in your venv in this case) or location where the command was run. To help you out:

1. Try to run import torch; print(torch.__version__) in your venv from your Download folder for instance. If this fails, uninstall and reinstall Pytorch
2. if it works, share the version you have, how you installed it and the full traceback of your error

That should put us on good tracks to help you out!
Cheers,

[aayushjACN]

Hey @frgfm,

Thanks for your prompt feedback! I have managed to fix the issue, turns out I just had to restart my VSCode and it worked fine. Must have been some glitch.

Cheers,

Hey @alaaeddinebessghaier 👋

We can't do much with the traceback and no context 😅 Mind sharing a bit more? Ideally, we need to be able to reproduce this locally (so minimal reproducible snippet + expected result)

problem: from torch._C import * ImportError: No module named 'torch._C'

environment： 3.5.6 |Anaconda, Inc.| (default, Aug 26 2018, 16:05:27) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)]

solve： I reinstall torch by pip3 ,then it works.

pip3 install torch==1.2.0+cpu torchvision==0.4.0+cpu -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

Yeah, reinstalling works
here are the steps to follow
After you are in your conda environment
pip install ultralytics
conda install pytorch torchvision cpuonly -c pytorch
it will install all the required packages
then run your script -> it will download the weights from yolov8 subsequently captures the frames with bounding boxes.
