ImportError: No module named bootstrap3

Question

I installed bootstrap3 with

$ pip install django-bootstrap3

It is being installed in this directory

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/

Django seems to be looking at this directory

/Users/shawnpike/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/

When I put 'bootstrap3' in the INSTALLED_APPS = ('bootstrap3') variable and then run

$ python manage.py runserver

I get this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 10, in <module>

ImportError: No module named bootstrap3

I installed bootstrap3 in the django folder by using copy and paste and that did not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You!

Answer 1

Try using

$pip2 install django-bootstrap3

I'm using ubuntu 14.04 and and the pip command installs packages to lib/python3.3/site-packages/ and not to lib/python2.7/site-packages/

You have to install Requirements.txt and it will be ok.

Run this command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Answer 3

Just see which python version your Django environment is using with:

python -V

If it is using Python 2.7 run:

pip install django-bootstrap3

Otherwise, if your Django environment is using version Python 3 use:

pip3 install django-bootstrap3
