I am new to python and searching the “attributeerror: module ‘importlib._bootstrap’ has no attribute ‘sourcefileloader’” to understand it better. It seems it doesn’t work as expected when I used some suggestions before. Here is the command line I use:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip
pip3 install packagename

The error I’m getting is below:

File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 1479, in <module>
  register_loader-type(importlib_bootstrap.SourceFileLoader, DefaultProvider)
 AttributeError: module "importlib._bootstrap" has no attribute "SourceFileLoader"

Please give me the solution to this issue.

    The cause:

    You had to face up with this error because python3.6 and pip3 were not downloaded from the same sources.

    Solution:

    To solve this error, you need to install pip i.e. And I recommend you using the built-in python facility to install it as following:

    python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade

    This will set up pip3 & pip3.x, where x is python3.x. python2 also work with this way.

    This error occurs when you run pip install dotenv; the package is python-dotenv and not dotenv.

    It worked for me.

    sudo pip install python-dotenv
