I recently installed python on my Ubuntu 14.04. I downloaded tensorflow by pip. When I tried to import tensorflow it said ImportError:No module named tensorflow. Then I edited PYTHONPATH by adding /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages. Now when I try to import, it says 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tensorflow/__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
    from tensorflow.python import *
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tensorflow/python/__init__.py", line 45, in <module>
    import numpy as np
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/__init__.py", line 180, in <module>
    from . import add_newdocs
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/add_newdocs.py", line 13, in <module>
    from numpy.lib import add_newdoc
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/lib/__init__.py", line 8, in <module>
    from .type_check import *
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/lib/type_check.py", line 11, in <module>
    import numpy.core.numeric as _nx
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/core/__init__.py", line 14, in <module>
    from . import multiarray
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/core/multiarray.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS4_AsUnicodeEscapeString

I found here that 2 versions of python causes the conflict, but that didn't help. Any assistance will be appreciated. Thank you

Best way to install packages if you have more than one python installed is:

path_to_your_python_executable -m pip install package_name

This way, you can make sure that you have installed package for proper python.

And don't forget about sudo ;)
