Python ImportError: No module named resource
google-app-engine, python, python-2.7
Solution
You need to put `resource.py`, or the folder `resource` in your application's directory. GAE uses a different interpreter and therefore doesn't have the modules you installed on your computer.
Problem
I'm working with a Google App Engine project and within the project I am unable to use this import: ``` import resource ``` I receive this error: ``` ImportError: No module named resource ``` However, if I fire up the terminal and run this code it works fine: ``` $ python Python 2.7.3 (v2.7.3:70274d53c1dd, Apr 9 2012, 20:52:43) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import resource ``` The root folder of the project does not have an _init_.py file which is what many of the other answers suggest. I use Aptana 3, OSX 10.8.2 and Python 2.7.3. Why would the import not work in my website, but does work in the interpreter?
