I would like to run a simple 'Hello world' app. Every time I run it I get
'ImportError: No module named web'
I installed web.py using pip and using easy_install several times. I tried uninstalling it and installing again. I tried installing it a as sudo. Nothing seems to work. I use OS X
Code of the application:
import web
urls = (
'/', 'index'
)
app = web.application(urls, globals())
class index:
def GET(self):
greeting = "Hello World"
return greeting
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
I tried to run this app using this commend:
python /Users/mptorz/webversion/bin/app.py http://0.0.0.0:8080/
However I know that this is not an issue of the code, because I am basically doing this course http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ex50.html.
I thought it might be interesting. I have just tried again to reinstall web.py and I have got this error:
pc7:~ mptorz$ pip uninstall web.py

I tried doing the same with sudo and I got this error.

When I run the app I still get the same error 'ImportError: No module named web'.
I was asked to add the result of python -c "print(import('sys').path)":
pc7:~ mptorz$ python -c "print(__import__('sys').path)"

Somone also suggested trying "python -m pip install web.py" It resulted in this error:

After doing everything I was advised here, I tried running the app again and I have got this:
pc7:~ mptorz$ python /Users/mptorz/webversion/bin/app.py http://0.0.0.0:8080/

I have just tried the home-brew solution suggested by @PhilipTzou. After I did that the output of running the app is:

SOLUTION
Finally, it worked. After running the solution suggested by @PhilipTzou and entering python /Users/mptorz/webversion/bin/app.py 8080 app.py is finally working and I can continue my python course. Thank you all for your help :)
