Where is Pip3 Installing Modules?

Question

• Ubuntu 15.10
• Python 3.4.3+
• Django 1.8.7

When I try to import django in the python3 interpreter, it says ImportError: No

Answer 1

I think you have installed django outside virtual environment. download virtual environment by

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv your_env

Activate virtual environment.

source your_env/bin/activate

Then, Install django in your virtual environment.

Answer 2

Normally pip 3 install on python3 dist-packages

You can always use pip with:

python3 -m pip install package

to check if you are experiencing troubles with another python3 installation

ls /usr/local/lib | grep python

But the easy way to not experiment this headache is by using virtual environments
