installed python module in raspbian jessie will not work in python script

I'm pretty new to Python and programming in general. I'm attempting to use the forecastio module in a Python script on my Raspberry Pi. Its running Raspbian Jesse. I've installed the module like so:

sudo pip install python-forecastio

the installation was successful, but whenever I attempt to use the module in my script (import forecastio) none of the module methods work. I get this error:

import forecastio

ImportError: No module named 'forecastio'

I've tried rebooting after the module installation. It seems that Python just isn't recognizing the module. What am I missing?

Solution

  • Per default the command pip refers to the python 2.7 version of pip.

    If you want to use the forecastio module in a python 3 script, you have to use pip3 to install it.
