When i try to use from IPython.display import clear_output, display_html , then i show the error:

(ImportError: No module named IPython)

I am using Python 2.7.13, and im trying to make the game of life from John Conway. I am following this link: http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/url/norvig.com/ipython/Life.ipynb

I have read another questions and answers about it, but any answer works for me. First, this error is showed in command line, and when i try to run this code in a file. Second, this error is direct to IPython, not submodule or something similiar.

Which IPython version do you have? Can you check with running in terminal ipython --version – niraj Jul 19, 2017 at 2:27 Try typing 'jupyter qtconsole' and see if an iPython terminal opens. If so it will tell you that ipython is installed and it will list version number. – Natsfan Jul 19, 2017 at 3:03 Ok. I checked ipython --version but i havent it in my computer. Then, i wrote pip install ipython , but i got this error: – Jhonatan Jul 19, 2017 at 23:24 Command "c:\python27\python.exe -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='c:\\users\\johathan\\appdata\\local\\temp\\pip-build-livxvv\\scandir\\setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)( file );code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, file , 'exec'))" install --record c:\users\johathan\appdata\local\temp\pip-fqwttt-record\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in c:\users\johathan\appdata\local\temp\pip-build-livxvv\scandir\ – Jhonatan Jul 19, 2017 at 23:24

I wrote ipython --version but i found, it was not installed.

I tried to install it, with pip. I went to C:\Python27\Scripts , here is pip, you can try in this directory, or add to environment variables.

I tried to install ipython, but i found a error

error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

so i installed visual studio c++ 9.0, the version to python 2.7.

pip install ipython

If you are using Anaconda (the full version) ipython comes preinstalled. If you are using Miniconda or if the ipython is deleted for some reason you can re-install with

conda install -c anaconda ipython
If you are using it with jupyter. You might want to register the ipython with a user.
python -m ipykernel install [--user] [--name <machine-readable-name>] [--display-name <"User Friendly Name">]
Reference :
Official Documentation
I have a similar issue, but it appears when I was running the script under sudo. Fast and easiest way was to install IPython under sudo.
sudo pip3 install IPython
I am running a script that uses IPython module, in my terminal. If you are also trying to do something similar, this answer might help you.
!pip3 install IPython
Things to keep in mind:-
'I' and 'P' in IPython are uppercase.
I am running the above command in python 3.7.
For me, the problem (that drove me crazy) is that I actually needed capitalization. The correct import after pip install is:
from IPython.display import display, update_display
