paramiko is installed but mysql workbench saying "ImportError: No module named paramiko"
Question: When i tried to open mysql workbench then it saying "ImportError: No module
named paramiko; Operation failed: Cannot start SSH tunnel manager" although i
have installed paramiko. I am using python 2.7.3 ubuntu 12.04

I am getting this error after trying to upgrade from python 2.7.3 to python 3
again i installed python2.7.5 but my gedit not working then coming back to
python 2.7.3. Now everything became normal except mysql work bench. I am using
workbench version 6.0

error report: Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/share/mysql-workbench/sshtunnel.py", line 30, in

    
    
    import paramiko
    

ImportError: No module named paramiko

Operation failed: Cannot start SSH tunnel manager


Answer: Try to create a virtual environment and to install `paramiko` in it.

    
    
    virtualenv test
    source test/bin/activate
    pip install paramiko
    mysql-workbench
    

For some reason it solved the problem for me, after `sudo apt-get install
python-paramiko` and `sudo pip install paramiko` both failed. I also tried
installing `paramiko` in a `conda` environment, and it failed as well.
