I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm using Python 2.7 on OSX with the Eclipse PyDev IDE. I've never worked with an API before, but I need to use the google calendar API with a Python application I'm developing. I downloaded the latest gdata module from Google and installed it using this line in Terminal while in the directory into which I downloaded the gdata folder (Downloads):
sudo python setup.py install
It seemed to install everything into a Python directory deep within my machine's Library, no errors were given. However, now when I attempt to run a program with the following import commands:
import gdata.calendar.data
import gdata.calendar.client
import gdata.acl.data
import atom
I get the following error:
ImportError: No module named gdata.calendar.data
Clearly indicating I have done something wrong on the install. Thoughts?
It's probably installed, but you haven't told Eclipse where to look for gdata.
Right click on the project in Eclipse and choose Properties -> PyDev - PYTHONPATH -> Source Folders and click "Add source folder".
The folder will (probably) be in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/gdata, depending on the version and where you installed it. It might be somewhere else, like dist-packages instead of site-packages, but once you find it and add the folder inside Eclipse, the imports should work.
Edit: Don't forget to do the same for atom, too.
