Update 2:
the main problem turned out to be a different one from what I had thought it was, and asked for help here. I moved the new question to a new post:
Install custom python package in virtualenv
Update: ok, so I screwed up my non-virtualenv by accident. The non-virtualenv (normal bash) I could easily fix by removing the manually installed (via pip) lxml and running
conda install lxml --force But for some reason, that doesn't work in the virtualenv. There, running
conda install lxml --force works without error message, but when I run python and simply say
>>> import lxml Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named lxml Any suggestions??
old message:
I'm trying to use virtualenv for my python flask application. The python code runs perfectly fine without the virtualenv.
I've installed the packages I need in the virtualenv, but I after installing lxml via
pip install lxml Installing collected packages: lxml Successfully installed lxml-3.6.0 I get the following error message when running my code:
File "/Users/XXX/xxx/flask-aws/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docx-0.2.4-py2.7.egg/docx.py", line 17, in <module> from lxml import etree ImportError: dlopen(/Users/XXX/xxx/flask-aws/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lxml/etree.so, 2): Library not loaded: libxml2.2.dylib Referenced from: /Users/XXX/xxx/flask-aws/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lxml/etree.so Reason: Incompatible library version: etree.so requires version 12.0.0 or later, but libxml2.2.dylib provides version 10.0.0 I have seen other people report similar problems at stackoverflow, and one guy remarked that the problem might related to the virtualenv, but there was no solution.
Once again: The python code runs perfectly fine without virtualenv! But inside virtualenv, I can't get it to work.
I'm using Anaconda Python 2.7 on a Mac.
I'd appreciate any help guys!
