Answer 1

If you are in a terminal under Bash or any other semi-advanced shell with tab-completion, try to write pip followed by <tab>. If I do it, I see written:

none@vacuum:~$ pip  
pip     pip3    pip3.5  pip3.6

As you can see, I can choose to run pip commands under pip only, but I can choose even newer versions of pip. To know what version is associated to the pip command (with nothing else) run as usual pip with the --version or -V flag. In my case, pip -V yields:

none@vacuum:~$ pip -V  
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages (python 3.6)

Besides this, if you are developing under PyCharm, you may press Alt+Enter when the cursor is under the module name which cannot be imported to open a context-sensitive floating menu that will allow you to install the module. (You can also manage the list of installed modules for a specific Python version in the settings menu of PyCharm, under the Project Interpreter sub-menu.)

Answer 2

Click on the Bulb icon right next to the "import xlrd" & click on install package clrd , it will automatically install the package

Answer 3

If you are using a virtual environment use "pipenv install xlrd" instead of "pip install xlrd". That should work.

Answer 4

If you are facing issues in Windows then try the steps below which works for me:

1. go to the location %localappdata%
   • C:\Users\<YourSystem>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts
2. Open cmd ternimal at this location
3. run pip install xlrd

Answer 5

For me the solution was uninstalling xlrd using pip uninstall xlrd, and then installing it again using pip install xlrd.

Answer 6

I had the same problem. I went to the terminal (Using Linux), and typed

sudo pip3 install xlrd

Then I imported xlrd in python and used the same code:

df = pd.read_excel("File.xlsx", "Sheet1")
print (df)

It worked for me!!
