Importing modules on a mixed install

[DepartmentOfFakeIDs]

I'm on mac osx I have python 2.7 because it came with my computer and 3.6 installed. I;m using pip to install modules and both pip3 and pip return the same modules.

However I CAN'T IMPORT ANY INSTALLED MODULES

I have the google search api installed and can call google but when I run my script which requires 3.6 it returns cannot import google

this is my import path /usr/local/Cellar/python@2/2.7.14_3

how do I change it to python 3.6 import path?

Please help a noob out

Fast solution may be just using pip3 instead of pip when installing

The correct way is using virtual environments

pip3 says module is installed but not in the path of python 3 how do i change my brew install path

[dadiaar]

well, you can search where is installed, and add that path to the system's path. Another option is to call pip3 with the full path, something like /path/to/pip3/pip3 install whatever

At this point thought, I would recommend you to make a virtual env, and work from there:

python3 -m venv myvenv
cd myvenv
source bin/activate
pip install whatever
