Adding a module (Specifically pymorph) to Spyder (

Question

I have managed to get spyder installed and functioning on my mac but I want to add in a few modules that it doesn't include by default (mahotas and pymorph).

I installed both via easy_install in the terminal and both seemed to install without any error messages. Running python from a terminal and using import mahotas and import pymorph works just fine without error messages. However, when I run the same lines from a script within spyder I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/spyderlib/widgets/externalshell/sitecustomize.py", line 493, in runfile
 execfile(filename, namespace)
File "/Users/Name/Documents/Python/dna.py", line 11, in <module>
 import pymorph
ImportError: No module named pymorph

All I'm trying to do right now is run the import lines, that's it. I can't seem to find anything about this. I'm guessing that spyder uses a separate install of python and that installing modules via the terminal installs them only to the system version of python. How do I add them to spyder?

Specs:

Mac OSX 10.7.4

Spyder 2.1.9

Answer 1

1. Find the location of a module in Terminal:

   $ python # open python
   
   import pygame # import a module 
   
   pygame # get the location
   

2. Copy-paste the module folder to the 'Spyder.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7'

3. Relaunch Spyder.app
