No module named '_bz2' in python3
When trying to execute the following command:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
The following error occurs:
from _bz2 import BZ2Compressor, BZ2Decompressor ImportError: No module named '_bz2'
So, I was trying to install bzip2 module in Ubuntu using :
sudo pip3 install bzip2
But, the following statement pops up in the terminal:
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement bzip2 (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for bzip2
What can I do to solve the problem?
Answer
If you compiling python yourself, you need to install libbz2 headers and .so files first, so that python will be compiled with bz2 support.
On ubuntu, apt-get install libbz2-dev then compile python.
