i installed it with:

pip install tqdm

It has been installed successfully but i still have the same message: " No Module named tqdm ".

Answer 1

I see that you've got this tagged as python 3. Could be your system's default installation of python is version 2.

Try sudo pip3 install tqdm.

Make sure you're running your script in version 3. python3 ./example.py

Answer 2

make sure you are not executing your .py file in a virtual environment.

If you are, all you have to do is activate the virtual environment and install it there.

change directory to where you have installed your virtual environment

cd .../bin

# this activates virtual environment
source activate

then

#install through pip
pip install tqdm
