cookiecutter step when installing Pyramid application throws module not found error

Question

I was trying to create Pyramid application using cookiecutter. After installing cookiecutter in my Debian GNU/linux 10 system and adding the path of ~/local to bash profile, the cookiecutter application is available for use. But when I run

cookiecutter gh:Pylons/pyramid-cookiecutter-starter --checkout 2.0-branch

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/cdit/.local/bin/cookiecutter", line 6, in <module>
    from cookiecutter.__main__ import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cookiecutter'

Please help to fix this error

Answer 1

I activated the virtual environment and then installed cookiecutter within the virtual environment using :

pip install cookiecutter

Then run the cookiecutter command. It worked!
