no module named pymongo

Question

so heres an interesting problem.

I'm working on ubuntu 14.04 and trying to use pymongo. I've got both python and mongo installed and working AND pymongo installed. Here's the issue

if I were to run a program with import pymongo in it such as

python test.py

the result would be "no module named pymongo"

however, if I were to run

chmod +x test.py
./test.py

everything works. any ideas whats going on? thanks for the help

Do you use virtual environments?

Does your script have shebang ( "#!" ) as the first line? If so, it will indicate the program to run the script, which may be a different version of python than you are running by hand. It could be that pymongo is installed on that version but not the version you get when running it by hand in the terminal.

What does the command "which python" say when you run it. That will tell you what python you are using from the command line.
