I have installed a python library MySQLdb, and it works yesterday. But today when I tried to run it, it goes on as following:
czhao#opx790:~$ python

It is really strange, so I try to re-install it, but it seems I do have the library in my computer:
czhao#opx790:~$ sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb

I do not know why, I have the library but python keep tell me I do not have it.
You are using Anaconda Python, but the package installed with apt-get was installed for the system Python. These two different distributions have different library directories, so packages/modules installed with one are not available for the other.
To get around this, use the pip program that came with Anaconda and run sudo pip install MySQL-python.

Can anyone help me? Am I missing something blatantly obvious here?
Thanks in advance.
I had similar issues, there are few cases where dbus and python don't work well out-of-the-box. The consensus appears to be that you need a system-level install (i.e. apt-get) to get dbus to work. I believe the /home/e/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/_dbus_bindings.so: undefined symbol: _Py_ZeroStruct error you're seeing is directly related to that.
conda install dbus does not add anything to ~/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages, but instead appears to install some executables in ~/anaconda3/bin/ like dbus-run-session, dbus-daemon, etc. This makes some sense when you analyze the contents of the dbus tarball https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/dbus, as it's all C files and executables. I'm not sure it's supposed to be the dbus python module, but I could be wrong.
EDIT:
I searched the conda repositories and found a few individuals that uploaded a version of dbus-python, presumably that they compiled and installed. I tried this one out in a py3.6 conda environment via:
conda install -c scottwales dbus-python
I was then able to import dbus. This is a hacky approach and should not be used in production, I'd recommend listening to
Carlos Cordoba's post below. But if you need a solution now, search through some user conda packages or try to compile the library yourself.
Can anyone help me? Am I missing something blatantly obvious here?
Yes, you are. There's one thing people still don't understand about conda: conda is not a pip replacement. It is a general package manager, in the same vein as apt-get, yum, brew, emerge, etc, but cross-platform and based on Python.
In this case, that means that conda install dbus does not install the Python Dbus bindings, as you would expect with pip . It installs the Dbus C package itself, which is needed by Qt 5 (again, the C++ library, not the Python bindings to it).
Unfortunately, there are no Conda packages for dbus-python. To make matters worse, it seems there's no easy way to create packages for it, as pointed out here.
Finally, you said
Here is the error message I am getting
The (most probable) cause of that error is because you added your system Python dist-packages path to the PYTHONPATH of Anaconda or because you blindly copied the dbus module from system Python to Anaconda. Please don't do that ever again. System Python and Anaconda packages are compiled with different compilers and under different conditions. So mixing them is the cause of incomprehensible errors, just like the one you reported.
When I type in which python I get /usr/bin/python as expected. However, I wanted to install matplotlib and running sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib says

Fair enough, I thought that the library was installed, but when I tried to import it I got an error:
[ivaylo#ivaylo-K55VD ~]$ python
Python 2.7.9 (default, Apr 24 2015, 12:56:53)

>>> import matplotlib
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named matplotlib
>>>
So it turns out I have matplotlib installed for my default implementation, yet it cannot be found. I checked the contents of /usr/bin/ and there are multiple python executables:
python refers to, as you can see, version 2.7.9 and is the only version where matplotlib is not available.
python2 python2.7 and python2.7.6 all map to version 2.7.6 and there the library is available.
python3 and python3.4 map to version 3.4.3 where matplotlib is also available, but only after I installed it with sudo apt-get install python3-matplotlib.
So my question is, why is the default python 2.7.9 and why doesn't apt install the library for the correct version?
My Ubuntu is 14.04 if that matters.

What is happening above? It seems to not install for anaconda. But it is directing to the right from path.
You are installing things into the system Python. You need to install into the Anaconda Python, using pip install pygame (note that sudo pip is likely going to use the system Python again, and using sudo with the Anaconda Python is not recommended anyway).
I am trying to use twisted on OS X Mavericks, but I get this error message when I try to import it.

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named twisted
My guess is that I am receiving this error because I am not using the default Python. I am using a Python installed with brew. Ideally, I would want to install twisted into a virtual environment to play with, but the docs are seriously lacking in details. Apparently, a dmg exists for Mac OS X 10.5, which is not helpful for me. I can install from the tarball into the virtual environment, but I am not sure how to do this. Any hints?
If you're using virtualenv, it doesn't matter whether you are using the system python or not.
Simply pip install twisted in your virtualenv, like:
$ workon MyTwistedEnv
$ pip install twisted
Currently, due to a bug in Xcode that affects all projects which contain extension modules, you may need to spell this
$ CFLAGS= pip install twisted
instead; hopefully this will be fixed soon. It may not affect brew installed Pythons, however.
I thought I'd move from using Tkinter to wxPython, but I'm having some troubles. All I get is this:
>>> import wx

I have installed wxPython. When I run the uninstaller I clearly see that wxPython IS installed:
1. wxPython3.0-osx-cocoa-py2.7 3.0.0.0
Enter the number of the install to examine or 'Q' to quit:
When I start Python I see that my version should match the version of wxPython:

Macs can have multiple versions of Python installed. Are you sure that you installed wxPython for the same python you invoke with the interpreter?
Try, which python, and make sure that this version of python has a wxredirect.pth file in site-packages pointing to the wxPython installation. (If it doesn't search for wxredirect.pth.)
Here's one version on my system...
> which python2.6
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python2.6
> more /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/wxredirect.pth
import site; site.addsitedir('/usr/local/lib/wxPython-3.0.0.0/lib/python2.6')
#import site; site.addsitedir('/usr/local/lib/wxPython-2.9.1.1/lib/python2.6')
#import site; site.addsitedir('/usr/local/lib/wxPython-unicode-2.8.12.1/lib/python2.6')
Here, btw, I can comment out lines in the wxredirect.pth to choose the version of wxPython I want to use.
I just find the same problem.
I used brew install wxpython to install it on mac.
I try the method above but no use.
I happen to find the solution when I install another package, it showen below:
brew install tbb

Python modules have been installed and Homebrew's site-packages is not
in your Python sys.path, so you will not be able to import the modules
this formula installed. If you plan to develop with these modules,
please run:
mkdir -p /Users/ningrongye/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
echo 'import site; site.addsitedir("/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-

this is what homebrew said and I just try those, and it works.

I have Python 2.7 and 3.7 .
In /usr/local/bin/ there are symbolic links for 2.7 and 3.7 Python versions and also symbolic links for pip.
I've installed wxPython with pip3
pip3 install -U wxPython
Then i checked the installation for Python3

In my case it worked by resetting the brew environment to 2.7:
