ImportError: No module named 'Bio'

#1

All,

I’m puzzled. At the command line the system’s /usr/bin/python uses the “Bio” module, no error:

5020 > python
Python 2.7.5 (default, Mar 9 2014, 22:15:05)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 5.0 (clang-500.0.68)] on darwin
Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.

from Bio.Seq import Seq
^D

But my plugin code starts like this:

import sublime, sublime_plugin
from Bio.Seq import Seq
from Bio.Alphabet import IUPAC

And exits like this in the Console:

ImportError: No module named ‘Bio’

from Bio.Seq import Seq
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in
ImportError: No module named ‘Bio’

Why is that?

Thank you,

Brian O.

Ah. The embedded interpreter. So what is the best workaround, given that anyone who would want to use this plugin I’m making will have to install the “Bio” (BioPython) code?

Let’s try something like this in Plugin.py:

import sys
sys.path.append(’/usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages’)
from Bio.Seq import Seq
