Solving Queue ImportError: No module named ‘Queue’

Queue ImportError: No module named ‘Queue’ is an error which occurs when you use a faulty Queue import or for other reasons as well.

In today’s article I am going to deal with a confusing error and explain why it takes place and how to fix it, with a set of possible solutions.

Exploring the Queue ImportError: No module named ‘Queue’

This is an error which occurs when you use a faulty Queue import or for other reasons as well.

Beware of mixing between errors. Double check if the error message looks like the error message bellow, then continue.

                                                                       #
ImportError: No module named 'Queue'
                                                                       #

Bellow are two methods that have both solved the problem for me, make sure you try both of them.

Solution 1 : Solve the queue file naming problem if you have one

This method is only for those who made the mistake of creating a file named queue.py

The file is going to create a conflict situation if created in the same directory.

The fix is to simply rename the queue.py file a different name.

If this has worked for you, great. If that is not the case, then please try the next method

Solution 2 : Solving issues when importing queue

Sometimes, the problem can occur because of a faulty import.

The problem can be solved using two options.

The first option is to use the line bellow when importing queue

                                                                       #
from multiprocessing import Queue
                                                                       #

Instead of only using the line

                                                                       #
import Queue
                                                                       #

The error can also occur when you import Queue with an uppercase Q

                                                                       #
import Queue
                                                                       #

So, the fix for many people is to import queue with a lowercase q , just like in the line bellow

                                                                       #
import Queue
                                                                       #

I hope the methods above have been helpful, I hope you solved the error already. Thank you for reading this post to the end.
