Error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'whois.whois'

Question

I get this error saying

 ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'whois.whois' from https://pypi.org/project/python-whois/

https://pypi.org/project/whois/

I have installed all whois packages

import whois
domain = whois.whois('google.com')
print(domain)

even if I changed line 2 as domain = whois.query('google.com') still I get the same error.

I tried doing using easy -install.py But didn't work.

But if I run just whois google.com in Cmd Prompt I get the results. But not in python script even though the packages are installed.

Answer 1

Install the dependency with pip - "pip install python-whois"

>>> import whois
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
