title: How to utilize the Instagram API with in Flask framework?
body: <p>So I'm trying to make a simple app using the Flask framework and the <a href="https://github.com/Instagram/python-instagram" rel="nofollow">Instagram API</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I have my application set up and everything is working well. But how can I import the Instagram module in my application? </p>
  
  <p>I have run the <code>$ pip install python-instagram</code>, but when I try to import the module into my script I get the <code>ImportError: No module named instagram</code></p>
  
  <p>So how can I utilize the Instagram Python API in Flask?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>
  
  <p>I followed <a href="http://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial-part-i-hello-world" rel="nofollow">this</a> tutorial to set up Flask on my computer. It's running on virtualenv on folder on my computer. When I installed the Instagram Python API it was put in a folder <code>/build</code> inside my app which looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>instapp/
  -- app/
     -- __init__.py
     -- static
     -- templates
     -- views.py
  
  -- build/
     -- httplib2/
     -- python-instagram/
     -- simplejson/
  
  -- flask/
     -- bin/
     -- include/
     -- lib/
  
  -- run.py
  -- tmp
  -- virtualenv.py
  </code></pre>
