You can't specify operating system paths in the import command; those modules need to be in known locations where Python can find them. When you install something (usually with `pip install`), it is placed in the 'site-packages' directory of your environment. I started to write a big long explanation here, but decided that it would be better as a blog post: https://blog.leafe.com/using-a-python-virtual-environment/ Of course, if you have any questions about that, let me know. -- Ed Leafe _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
