Installed PySide but can't import it: "no module named PySide"
pyside, python
Solution
PySide was installed to `/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages`, but Python isn’t looking there; it’s looking in `/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages`. Additionally, `which python` gave `/usr/bin/python` rather than `/usr/local/bin/python`, so you’re using the system Python.
The path forward depends on whether you want to use the system Python or Homebrew Python:
System Python: You’ll need to either add `/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages` to your `sys.path` (possibly in `/Library/Python/2.7/site.py`) or move `PySide` to `/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages`.
Homebrew Python: You’ll need to add `/usr/local/bin` to your `PATH`, probably in `~/.bashrc`.
Problem
I'm new to Python. I have both Python 2.7 and Python 3 installed. I just tried installing PySide via Homebrew and got this message: PySide package successfully installed in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PySide... Both versions of Python and the newly installed PySide are all stored in `/usr/local/Cellar/`. This issue is that when I'm in either Python 2.7 or Python 3 and try to import PySide or run a test program that includes PySide, I get the message: "no module named PySide". This is on OS X 10.9.3 Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've searched far and wide and tried reinstalling a few times with the same results. The full `sys.path` output: When I run while in Python 3: ``` >>> print(sys.path) ['', '/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.4.1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python34.zip', '/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.4.1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4', '/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.4.1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/plat-darwin', '/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.4.1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages'] ``` When I run while in Python 2: ``` >>> print sys.path ['', '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/distribute-0.6.49-py2.7.egg', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python27.zip', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-darwin', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-old', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC', '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages', '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg-info'] ```
