If you solved your problem, write your own answer and accept it. This way, the question won't appear on the unanswered list. — Helgi, May 20 '12 at 10:45

What ended up working for me was:

chmod -R 775 /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/

It is recommended that you use a virtualenv with python in general but I'd say especially with web development.

What happens when you use a virtualenv?

$ sudo pip install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper
$ sudo cat >> ~/.bashrc << EOF
# virtualenvwrapper setup
export WORKON_HOME=~/.virtualenvs
export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_VIRTUALENV_ARGS='--no-site-packages --python=python2.6'
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
EOF
$ source ~/.bashrc
$ mkvirtualenv test
$ pip install bottle
$ python
>>> import bottle

Because I get this:

$ python

Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ImportError: No module named virtualenvwrapper.hook_loader virtualenvwrapper.sh: There was a problem running the initialization hooks. If Python could not import the module virtualenvwrapper.hook_loader, check that virtualenv has been installed for VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python and that PATH is set properly. — strangeman, Feb 03 '12 at 02:15
I think, i need remove all: pip, virtualenv, bottle etc, and reinstall them. :) — strangeman, Feb 03 '12 at 02:17
Yes, you need to add to your ~/.bashrc: `export WORKON_HOME=~/.virtualenvs source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh` — hughdbrown, Feb 03 '12 at 02:21
You're running Ubuntu and you have no ~/.bashrc? Sourcing .bashrc fails with an error? — hughdbrown, Feb 03 '12 at 13:03
Or maybe virtualenvwrapper is being installed into `/usr/local/bin` and you have a general problem installing into `/usr/local` that is not fixed by chmod-ing `/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages`. — hughdbrown, Feb 03 '12 at 17:24

I know I'm late to the party - but I was having a problem using python command and my bottle.py module being located in my 3.x lib directory.

I just tossed a symlink from bottle.py in my python3.x to my current 2.x directory as such:

sudo ln -s ~/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/bottle.py /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bottle.py

Obviously change the version numbers to match your directory structure!

Check to see if you can run python3.

Please, check the following documentation on PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH:

and check your PYTHONHOME too.

links can change, and it isn't clear to a non-python user what distinction you're drawing, or how this answers the question. – bharal Aug 08 '14 at 01:49
