I installed pika for python running on a mac
sudo pip install pika==0.9.8
I make sure is installed, this is the response when trying to reinstall,
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pika==0.9.8 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
but when i import pika on a *.py I get,
ImportError: No module named pika
my python version
python --version
Python 2.7.5
how to make this module recognised by Python?
thanks!
edit 1
I call the import like this
import pika
which gives the error,
I can fix this temporaritly with,
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
So how to make the path permanent? thanks!
You can add that export command to your ~/.bash_login file.
Download and run pip from here:
https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html
and then open command window and goto the Scripts folder of the installed python in C and type the following command:
C:\Python34\Scripts>pip install pika
More likely you are running several versions of pip and python. Check your 'pip' and 'python' versions - you should use a 'pip' version corresponding to your 'python' version:
# python --version
Python 2.7.5
# pip --version
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pip-9.0.1-py3.4.egg (python 3.4)
As you can see 'pip' will install modules for a python version different from the one I'm using.
I used 'pip2' command for 'python2' (use pip3 for python3):
# pip2 install pika
git clone https://github.com/pika/pika.git
cd pika
python setup.py install
Installs pika 1.0.1b with 2.7
or
apt install python3
apt install python3-pip
pip3 install pika
Go to Scripts in your python folder and drag and drop pip.exe on command prompt and type install pika.
eg- C:\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe install pika
