python module can be found using shell but not in virtualenv

  • 772

When I do import numpy on my shell, numpy is found (I can use it). However, when I workon my virtualenv import numpy gives me no module named numpy error.

I tried to pip install numpy while working on my virtualenv but I get a could not create '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages' error. I tried with sudo and it says that Requirement already satisfied.

Why?

python

  1. numpy is installed globally in your system, so it's ok that virtualenvcan not find it (unless you specified --system-site-packages option).

    The problem with pip install numpy may come from the outdated pip and virtualenv combo. Check versions of your tools and try recreating it with virtualenv 1.11.6 (which includes pip 1.5.6). If the problem persists, report the bug at virtualenv tracker.
