ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mpl_finance'

Question

Hi I am following a tutorial that was using matplotlib.finance to use candlestick.ohlc. When researching I found out that that lib was deprecated and to use mlp_finance. I believe I have installed it by running the command prompt and entering the line pip install mpl_finance. The result that I get this

I tried re running the script but I still get the error:

     from  mpl_finance   import candlestick_ohlc
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mpl_finance'

I checked the python library path and I don't see a folder labeled mlp_finance(Im not sure if Im suppose to). But I do see a file labeled mpl_finance-0.10.0-py3.7.egg

Any help on resolving this issue? Downloaded the git package and ran the command prompt install

ran the command line pip install git clone https://github.com/matplotlib/mpl_finance.git mpl_finance.git

pip install mlp_finance will solve the issue

if you using Anaconda - To install this package with conda run: conda install -c conda-forge mplfinance

Answer 5

mpl_finance has been deprecated, just install the module as mplfinance.

Answer 6

If you want to follow that tutorial on mpl_finance, you can do so by installing the new mplfinance:

pip install --upgrade mplfinance

Then every place the tutorial tells you to import from mpl_finance change the import to
from mplfinance.original_flavor, for example:

change:

from  mpl_finance   import candlestick_ohlc

to

from mplfinance.original_flavor import candlestick_ohlc
