Python - Ubuntu install for SQLAlchemy not working

0 votes
I'm trying to setup a ubuntu box so I can do some work, and I'm having a tough time trying to get SQLAlchemy installed.

I have tried pretty much everything I can find on tutorials etc, and the latest position I find myself in is:

easy_install SQLAchemy seems to work ok, and installs version 0.7.4 (as far as I can tell)

If I go into python and try import sqlalchemy I get no module named sqlalchemy I also found a script that lists all the modules on the version of python, and its not listed there.

I am new to Ubuntu, so I am not sure about the correct steps. I'm on Python 2.7 32bit and Ubuntu 12.04. Can anybody help me with this?

You can try using the version directly from the ubuntu repositories:

sudo apt-get install python-sqlalchemy # or python3-sqlalchemy
 

if you used sudo easy_install, then the packages usually get installed in /usr/local/lib/pythonX.X/. The problem could be that easy_install (and also pip) doesn't set the file premissions right, so everyting installed is only readable by root.

You can avoid this by using the --user option when installing, then the packages are installed in the user site directory (~/.local/lib/pythonX.X)
