For a python module to be imported, its containing directory must be set either in a PYTHONPATH variable in $HOME/.bashrc file for example, or explicitly inserted in sys.path during runtime.



One solution would be:



>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/PyScrape')


Another would be:



$ echo 'export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/PyScrape' >> $HOME/.bashrc
$ source $HOME/.bashrc


Bear in mind that instead of .bashrc the relevant file could be .profile.



When you set PYTHONPATH then the result of the command:



>>> import sys
>>> sys.path


will contain the path you set in $PYTHONPATH because:




sys.path is a list of strings that specifies the search path for modules. Initialized from the environment variable PYTHONPATH, plus an installation-dependent default.
