I am trying to install and use the Evernote module (https://github.com/evernote/evernote-sdk-python) . I ran pip install evernote and it says that the installation worked.
I can confirm that the evernote module exists in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages. However, when I try to run python -c "import evernote" I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named evernote
This is the contents of my .bash-profile:
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*
# Setting PATH for Python 3.3
# The orginal version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/
I am having this same problem with other modules installed with pip. Help?
EDIT: I am a super newbie and have not edited that .bash-profile file.
EDIT: python -c 'import sys; print "n".join(sys.path)' Outputs the following:
/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/setuptools-1.3.2-py2.7.egg /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python27.zip /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7 /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-darwin /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-tk /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-old /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages
EDIT: I seemed to have made progress towards a solution by adding export PYTHONPATH=“/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages” to my .bash_profile file. However, now when I run python -c 'from evernote.api.client import EvernoteClient' it tries to import oauth2, which fails with the same error. The ouath2 module is present in the module directory.

Thank you for visiting the Q&A section on Magenaut. Please note that all the answers may not help you solve the issue immediately. So please treat them as advisements. If you found the post helpful (or not), leave a comment & I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Method 1
/usr/bin/python is the executable for the python that comes with OS X. /usr/local/lib is a location for user-installed programs only, possibly from Python.org or Homebrew. So you’re mixing different Python installs, and changing the python path is only a partial workaround for different packages being installed for different installations.
In order to make sure you use the pip associated with a particular python, you can run python -m pip install <pkg>, or go look at what the pip on your path is, or is symlinked to.
Method 2
I figured it out! I added this line:
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
to my .bash_profile and now I can import modules stored in that directory. Thanks for everyone who answered.
Method 3
I faced similar problem,its related to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages had no read or write permission for group and other, and they were owned by root. This means that only the root user could access them.
Try this:
$ sudo chmod -R go+rX /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Method 4
None of this helped me with my similar problem. Instead, I had to fix the newly installed files permissions to be able to import. This is usually an obvious thing, but not so much when you use sudo when installing module/packages.
Method 5
Simply just type in terminal:
sudo pip install pillow
and type import (whatever you like) or type from (whatever you like) import (whatever you like).
