I am very new to the world of coding, so I will try to provide as much information as i can regarding to my question.
Essentially, I wanted to install a module (moviepy) for Python 3. The site were I found the module suggested I use pip to unpack and install the module, so I did.
In my terminal, I entered pip install moviepy and pip proceeded to unpack and install my module, yay!
I then went over to my IDLE to see if the module would import, import moviepy, but received this error:
ImportError: No module named 'moviepy'
Huh? I thought I had just installed moviepy?
Upon further investigation, the module appears to have been written to my Python 2.7 site-packages folder and not my in Python 3 site-packages folder.
So my question is: How can I get my module to install to Python 3?
The modules website says that it is compatible with Python 3.
Im assuming this is a file path issue of some kind, but i don't know where to begin.
I'm currently using a OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2, Python 2.7.6, Python 3.5.0
Any help or comments are greatly appreciated here! Help the n00b!
If you are using python in linux you must run pip with python3:
python3 -m pip install moviepy
according to python official doc :
On Linux, Mac OS X and other POSIX systems, use the versioned Python commands in combination with the -m switch to run the appropriate copy of pip:
python2 -m pip install SomePackage # default Python 2
python2.7 -m pip install SomePackage # specifically Python 2.7
python3 -m pip install SomePackage # default Python 3
python3.4 -m pip install SomePackage # specifically Python 3.4
