Python error: ImportError: cannot import name Akismet

Question

I\'ve seen many similar errors, but I can\'t see a solution that applies to my particular problem.

I\'m trying to use the Akismet module which is on my PYTHONPATH, then

Answer 1

It will work perfectly if your PYTHONPATH is set correctly and globally (just tested it myself).

• Must be set to the directory containing "akismet.py", not the file path! Make sure you don't use relative paths.
• Note that you might need to reboot/logoff in order to apply environment variable changes to all programs.
