Python duckduckgo library not installing

I'm trying to install the duckduckgo for Python 3.6 (Windows), but cannot figure out how.

I first tried 

pip install duckduckgo

Which raises the exception ModuleNotFoundError: No module named urllib2

Then I tried installing by downloading the tar.gz file that is located on their webpage.

I navigated to the correct directory and executed

python setup.py install

Which, apparently, ran successfully.

However, when I execute a Python script with the following code:

import duckduckgo

It raises a ModuleNotFoundError.

Solution

  • UPDATE (July 2018). This is version, duckduckpy, supports Python 3. https://github.com/ivankliuk/duckduckpy

    pip install duckduckpy

    Happy searching!
