I'm having a hard time understanding why I get ImportError: No module named httplib2
after making sure httplib2 is installed. See below:
$ which -a python
/usr/bin/python
/usr/local/bin/python
$ pip -V
pip 1.4.1 from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip-1.4.1-py2.7.egg (python 2.7
$ pip list
google-api-python-client (1.2)
httplib2 (0.8)
pip (1.4.1)
pudb (2013.5.1)
Pygments (1.6)
setuptools (1.3.2)
wsgiref (0.1.2)
$ pip install httplib2
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): httplib2 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Cleaning up...
$ python

>>> import httplib2
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named httplib2
I've also done
$ find / | grep httplib2

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/httplib2/__init__.py

PLUMBING! >shakes fist at heavens<
If there are multiple Python instances (2 & 3), try different
pip
, for example:Python 2:
Python 3:
To check what's installed and where, try:
Then make sure you're using the right Python instance (as suggested in the other answer).
I faced similar problems on Windows 7. Here is how I solved it:
Now, Python should be accessible from the command line. However, in my case, calling
py script.py resulted in the the same error: "ImportError: No module named httplib2"
I then had to add the Python and Pip installation paths to the "Path" environment variable in order to install the httplib2 module and then execute the script without failure. I followed the instructions provided here.
Then I was able to execute
pip3 install httplib2 --upgrade
In the end I successfully managed to execute the script containing the httplib2 import statement.
added this to .bash_profile
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
then got:
can't say for sure why
pip
was installing to/usr/local
instead of system default, but now they're the same, so it's working for now.
