how are you running that script? I supect you are getting a different python. try: $ python TheNameOfTheScript that should get you the same python as you get typig "python" If you run the script directly: $ ./TheNameOfTheScript it will use the #! line at the top to tell it where to find python. If that line says" #!/usr/bin/python you'll probably get a different one. the usual convention is: #!/usr/bin/env python which should get you the same one that you get when you start python at the command line. a few things to try to test all this: $ which python $ python -c "import sys; print sys.path" $ python -c "import sys; print sys.executable" putting import sys" and "print sys.path" or "print sys.executable" at the top of your troublesome script.
