Python Amazon Product API: Module not found error

Question

I'm trying to wrap my head around the amazon advertising api. I installed both lxml and python-amazon-product-api. I get the following error (code to follow): No module named amazonproduct.

In [1]: from amazonproduct import api
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
/Users/XXXX/Projects/Python/XXXXX/XXXXXX/<ipython-input-1-c14d0f16852e> in <module>()
----> 1 from amazonproduct import api

ImportError: No module named amazonproduct

In [2]: 

I'm trying to do this from inside of a virtualenv

Hopefully you guys can help! If i'm missing any info you need please let me know.

Answer 1

My guess is that for some reason you have not installed python-amazon-product-api in your virtualenv.

Run the following command:

/path/to/your/virtual-env/bin/python -c "import amazonproduct"

Note: Use the binary from your virtual environment!
