Modules are installed using pip on OSX but not found when importing

Closed 3 years ago.
I'm on Mac OSX and I cannot import sqlalchemy.
Here is what I did. I ran:
$ pip install sqlalchemy
Requirement already satisfied: sqlalchemy in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (1.3.1)
I verified that sqlalchemy was installed by running:
$ ls /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages | grep sqlalchemy
flask_sqlalchemy
sqlalchemy
I opened my python interpreter and ran:
$ python
Python 2.7.10 (default, Feb 7 2017, 00:08:15)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 8.0.0 (clang-800.0.34)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sqlalchemy
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named sqlalchemy
>>>
So I thought this might be a case where my system has two python interpreters and only one can see the package. I ran a which command like so...
$ which -a python
/usr/bin/python
So I only have one python interpreter installed, sqlalchemy is installed, but I cannot import it? Any tips?

Python variables not importing properly

In this code I'm importing the boto3 module but my problem obviously has nothing to do with the module.
From the terminal i can import my module but when run from a python script, it doesn't work correctly. I installed it with a simple pip install; I thought this is all i need to do for modules to work. I then checked the location of the module to make sure my python path includes that location. Why is this happening?

dbus not working with python3 on a virtual environment?

I set up a virtual environment named "ComputerVision" with virtualwrapper, virtualen and pthon3.
Everything works fine except of importing dbus in my python script.
I want to use python3 but as you can see:
-dbus can be importet with python2 not python3
-cv2 can be importet with python3 not python 2

How can I fix it, to be able to import dbus to my python3 script??
Thank you in advance.

You need to install dbus-python library for Python3:
pip3 install dbus-python

Modules installed in venv are not recognized

why it does not work? Django.tar.gz is straight from PyPi
if i try "python -m pip install" it works, but installs python globally.
(newenv) [root]# pip install paczki/Django-2.0.7.tar.gz
pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available.

Figured this out. There was an systemwide alias set earlier by someone, which aliased python to a specific path like "/A/B/python", thus even while in venv used python was this one. :which python: might be misleading - id DOES NOT check for aliases, so :which python: and :python: did not pointed to the same one.

Unable to import django, conflicting python paths?

I installed django using pip, however typing import django in the python console yields the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named django
When I run pip install django I get the following:
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): django in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Cleaning up...
However running which python in the terminal yields the following:
/usr/bin/python
I am wondering whether django does not import because a version I installed using homebrew conflicts with the mac pre-installed version.
I should mention that i am able to import django in the console when in the directory /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Any help is appreciated.

You should import django, not Django, watch the case.
Demo:
$ pip install django
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): django in ...
Cleaning up...

I couldn't fix the $PATH conflict between my OSX default version (2.7.10) and my pip installed one (3.8). Instead, I manually specify the entire path when calling django-admin:
Go to your project folder in console and type (check your version first).
your_proyect_folder$ python3 /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/bin/django-admin.py startproject your_folder_name
