I've recently created a site with a django app hosted by webfaction. In general, things are running as expected, but I am also trying to use the ShopifyAPI, and get "Import error, no module named shopify" traced to one of my views.py. Everything worked when developing on localhost.
I SSHed into the host server and tried to install the ShopifyAPI with easy_install. It seemed to have reported being successfully installed, but I'm not sure if this actually does anything real on an external server?
Does anybody have suggestions? Any limitations on ShopifyAPI that I may not have considered?
Thanks!
The easy_install command will install the module for Python2.4. You are likely using Python2.6 or Python2.7. If you are using Python2.6, enter:
easy_install-2.6 ShopifyAPI instead of easy_install ShopifyAPI.
If you are using Python2.7, enter:
easy_install-2.7 ShopifyAPI insead of easy_install ShopifyAPI.
You can read more about using easy_install on Webfaction here
After installing the API, restart your Apache instance and it should see the module as expected.
