I have installed indeed and linkedin packages in my python environment using pip.

Everything shows up as successfully installed and then, when I start my python through the terminal, and do an import, it says module not found.

I referred to this and this forum post. However, their situation is slightly different than mine. In my case, the package is already installed successfully at the correct location. However, it does not seem to pick up.

Following is an example:

Installing linkedin package:

  • Type `which python` and `which pip` on both windows? – hd1 Dec 12 '14 at 04:09
  • Thanks! I tried both the commands and got the following outputs: `/usr/local/bin/python` and `/usr/local/bin/pip` respectively. Is this not correct? Appreciate your help! – user3694373 Dec 12 '14 at 16:45

You need to copy these library folder (linkedin,httplib2, oauth2 ,simplejson) to:

'/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/'.

One more thing, make sure your Eclipse Preference point to there by this way: open Eclipse -> Prefereces -> Pydev-> Interpreters-> Python Interpreter -> Libraries tab. make sure '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages' is already added.

    Thanks! I also tried changing sys.path to include the path: /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/ I copied over all packages from usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages to /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/ and that worked. How can I make this change permanent? If all my packages are getting installed to usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages location, how can I tell python to look for packages at that location? I am not using interpreter for now. Only terminal and Anaconda. Any hints? Appreciate your help! – user3694373 Dec 12 '14 at 16:39
  • If you want to tell Python look for packages at 'usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages', you need to do some thing: open Eclipse -> Prefereces -> Pydev-> Interpreters-> Python Interpreter -> Libraries -> New Folder -> then point to 'usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages' -> Apply. – Ve Pham Dec 13 '14 at 02:57

    Thanks! However, I am not using Eclipse. In stead, I am using Anaconda. Can you please let me know how to make these changes in Anaconda? – user3694373 Dec 13 '14 at 18:40
  • I have never been using Anaconda, but i think same way as above. – Ve Pham Dec 14 '14 at 09:31

    I just copied over all my packages to Anaconda packages folder and that seemed to work. Thanks for all your help! – user3694373 Dec 15 '14 at 17:20

Try this (from an example):

from linkedin import linkedin

  • Thanks! But, that was not working too. Looks like I had to copy over all my packages from usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages to /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/ and that worked. I wonder how do I make this change permanent so that all packages are picked up in my Anaconda and python (via terminal) env. Any hints? Appreciate your help! – user3694373 Dec 12 '14 at 16:42
