ImportError: No module named lxml - Even though LXML Is installed
I'm getting this error "ImportError: No module named lxml" Even though LXML Is definitely installed. Specifically it's installed within the python Virtualenv for the project. and ultimately I'm working on the Python/Amazon Product API. I get the error after trying to run one of the example scripts for that project from the terminal (mac).
How can I fix this? or further track down the issue?
Google searching lead me to:
- Reintsall LXML
- Ensure Xcode license was agreed to:
sudo xcodebuild -license - Updating LXML with:
pip install --upgrade lxmlCurrently at ver 3.4.0 - reinstalled LXML dependencies as outlined here -
pip install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev python-dev
Edit: More detail
The line of code throwing the error is from lxml import etree, objectify, this is in a folder far away from where LXML is installed in my virtual environment (although I am running the script from within my virtualenv in terminal). If the issues is simply a matter of the script not knowing where to find the LXML install, how would I fix that?
Answer
It turns out that I found my answer here: import lxml fails on OSX after (seemingly) successful install
Apparently, LXML Install on a Mac ends up installing it in the wrong path, so you have to reset the path using: export PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:${PATH}"
