I'm new to SublimeText2. So far I have found it excellent, but I just came across a problem I did not manage to solve. I'm trying to import a Python module, mechanize, into my script. However, whenever a run it (just the import mechanize line), I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/gabrielbianconi/Desktop/test.py", line 1, in <module>
    import mechanize
ImportError: No module named mechanize
[Finished in 0.3s with exit code 1]

However, when I run this line in Terminal, it works perfectly:

gb-air:~ gabrielbianconi$ python
Python 2.7.2 (v2.7.2:8527427914a2, Jun 11 2011, 15:22:34) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import mechanize
>>>

I guess this is a problem with ST2. I saw that ST2 on Mac uses the system's python, so I don't see why it doesn't recognize the module.

Thank you very much.

Edit: I'm on OS X Mountain Lion.

I managed to solve this problem. ST2 was not using the same python as the Terminal. For anyone having the same mistake, you can solve this by selecting: Sublime Text 2 > Preferences > Browser Packages... Then go into 'Python' folder and open 'Python.sublime_build'. Now edit the 'cmd' parameter to match your desired Python path. For me (using MacPorts), the result was:

{
    "cmd": ["/opt/local/bin/python", "-u", "$file"],
    "file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
    "selector": "source.python"
}

  • +1, excellent. i had a similar problem w/ getting the python REPL to locate and use the correct python install, even ST2 was doing this correctly except for REPL.

This piece of code helped me (enter in in the linux terminal):

echo "export PATH=~/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.profile
