Python Can't Find Modules With Pythonpath Set

I’m totally confused with new python 2.7.10. I've installed python 2.7.10 from tar.xz, which was downloaded from official site. Then I've linked /usr/local/bin/python2.7 with /us

Solution 1:

It seems that you have two python versions.

The default version generally is linked to:

/usr/bin/python 

As you can see from which -a python, your local version lives inside:

/usr/local/bin/python 

this is linked to your local binary with

/usr/bin/python 

pip install installs packages using the default python. This is the reason you can't import the packages from your local installation even if the package is visible in your $PYTHONPATH.

In case python -m pip install doesn't install the desired packages on your local version try creating a virtual environment (Do not use sudo)

In case everything fails or you are desperate, install a clean Anaconda and stay out of trouble.

I hope that works
