Python install location on OSX - trouble installing python modules
Question: I'm having a problem installing python packages and I think it has to do with
the fact that I apparently have 4 Python directories. I can download and
install them without a problem using pip... but when trying to import them in
an IDE they don't appear.

Any help would be appreciated and I should say that I'm a complete beginner.


Answer: That's a really tricky issue specific to OS X, and also hard to fix. The root
cause is the fact the GUI apps and console apps do not share the same
environment (with things like PATH and PYTHONPATH).
