python no module name pika when importing pika

I installed pika for python running on a mac

sudo pip install pika==0.9.8

I make sure is installed, this is the response when trying to reinstall,

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pika==0.9.8 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

but when i import pika on a *.py I get,

ImportError: No module named pika

my python version

python --version
Python 2.7.5

how to make this module recognised by Python? thanks!

edit 1

I call the import like this

import pika

which gives the error, I can fix this temporaritly with,

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

So how to make the path permanent? thanks!

Solution

  • You can add that export command to your ~/.bash_login file.
