python 2.7 - import httplib2 works in mac terminal but not IDLE shell -


i'm having great problems getting python site package httplib2 work in idle. i'm using mac osx 10.8.3 , python 2.7. used following installation steps install httplib2 macports:

1. $sudo port install py27-httplib2

i checked installed using: 

2. $port contents py27-httplib2

which returned whole pile of files in following directory (i'm showing first three):

/opt/local/library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/httplib2-0.8-py2.7.egg-info /opt/local/library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/httplib2/__init__.py /opt/local/library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/httplib2/__init__.pyc

then added following lines .bash_profile file thus:

$echo "export pythonpath=\"/opt/local/library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/httplib2:$pythonpath\"">>.bash_profile $source .bash_profile

i checked paths had indeed been incorporated environment (but noticed path messy):

$env path=/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/bin:    /opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:    /library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:    /usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/x11/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:    /users/lydia/programs/pagan/bin pwd=/users/lydia lang=en_au.utf-8 shlvl=1 home=/users/lydia pythonpath=/opt/local/library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/httplib2:    /opt/local/library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages:

i invoked python , ran 2 lines of code in terminal window shown below:

$python >>> import sys >>> import httplib2

if run same 2 lines of code in idle following error:

>>> import httplib2 traceback (most recent call last):   file "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>     import httplib2  importerror: no module named httplib2

my question is: must idle recognise httplib2 installed , has valid path? need code work on various machines can't hard-code path httplib2 in code.

thanks in advance!

1) should never care python interpreter does. not same running python program, , in opinion useless. instead, type code file named my_prog.py, , run it:

$ python my_prog.py

2) should never care idle because worst text editor imaginable. mac comes vim, can learn how use doing:

$ vimtutor

once you've learned basics, can upgrade , install macvim, , vivid chalk color scheme, real sharp looking editor. there thousands of useful plugins can employ macvim. can search google "best of macvim plugins" , see ones might want.

3) why use macports install modules? can download module, untar it:

.../downloads$ tar xfvz some-name.tar.gz

then cd newly created directory:

.../downloads$ cd some-name

then read readme or install file directions on how install module, typically is:

 .../downloads/some-name$ sudo python setup.py install

that install python module in default location, not /opt/local on mac; it's:

/library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages

you shouldn't need macports trivial.

4) looks other people have had problems idle when installing modules in non-standard locations, might want search google , see if can find solution there: e.g. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=253555
