The best way to fix this error is to correct the path ( location ) of pip_autoremove.

Modulenotfounderror: no module named pip_autoremove ( Solution ) –

There are a couple of steps that we will need to follow.

Step 1: Correct Path for pip_autoremove –

Typically if we install Python for a specific user then the default path for pip_autoremove must be:

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib

if we install Python for all users then the path should be :

C:\Program Files\Python311\Lib

Usually, the pip_autoremove becomes incompatible if it exists in the Script Folder in place of the Lib folder.

Step 2: Upgrade the pip :

Sometimes upgrading the pip will solve this issue. The reason is pip_autoremove comes default with pip. So if you upgrade pip, it will fix the pip_autoremove automatically. Here is the command for pip upgrade.

pip install –upgrade pip

Step 3: Install the pip_autoremove explicitly:

We will use pip package manager to install pip_autoremove externally. Here is the pip command for pip_autoremove installation. This command will install the latest version for pip_autoremove. On the basis of the requirement, we can opt for the correct version.

pip install pip-autoremove

If you need admin permission then add sudo keyword before the command. It will provide you the admin privileges for you.
