import modules in python

Question

when i write import win32print in my python command line (IDLE) it works fine and it is imported... but when i write import win32print in my py file then it gives an error says no module named win32print

why am i not able to load the module when writing the same statement in a py script...im using windows XP

It looks like win32print is not installed when you run your .py file, but it is from IDLE. Is your path to Python using a different Python installation? — David Heffernan

Check if you are running on the same installation. I'd do that by looking the path:

import sys print sys.path

And compare the output on IDLE and when you run the .py
