ImportError: No module named 'newspaper3k'

There is no module called newspaper3k to import. The PyPI package is named newspaper3k but the importable module is newspaper. Change your import to from newspaper import Article (after pip install newspaper3k) and it works.

The error

ImportError: No module named 'newspaper3k'

Fix it

1. Fix the import line

Replace:

import newspaper3k

with:

from newspaper import Article

Expected: the ImportError disappears.

1. Make sure the package is installed

python -m pip install newspaper3k
python -c "from newspaper import Article; print('ok')"

Expected: prints ok.

When this applies

• you literally wrote import newspaper3k
• the error says No module named 'newspaper3k' (note: ImportError, not ModuleNotFoundError, on older Pythons)

When it does NOT apply

• No module named 'newspaper' with the correct import means the install is missing
• this is purely a naming confusion, not a broken environment

Compatibility

All newspaper3k releases. The module has always been newspaper.

Why it happens

The project renamed itself for Python 3 (newspaper3k on PyPI) but kept the original module name (newspaper) so existing code kept working. New users naturally try to import the PyPI name and hit this. It is the same class of confusion as pip install beautifulsoup4 / import bs4.

Edge cases

• If both import newspaper3k fails AND from newspaper import Article fails with ModuleNotFoundError, you have the naming confusion plus a missing install. Fix the import line and install.
• The dead newspaper package on PyPI is the Python 2 original. Never install it on Python 3.
