lmdb package cannot be imported

I wanted to use lmdb package in python2.7 on my OSX.

I used pip2 install lmdb to install it. And if I install it multiple times, it will show Requirement already satisfied: lmdb in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (0.94).

But then when I open python2.7 in terminal and try to import lmdb, an error came out: ImportError: No module named lmdb.

Why can't I import the package when it's already in the site-packages directory?

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • This is my post and I think we have the same issue, Trouble importing module in Python 2.7

    Try this out:

    If you are using Mac, then open application -> Python 2.7 -> run the two command documents, and then open the IDLE. Then you open the file and run, it might work, although it is counterintuitive.
