I was trying to compile Letsencrypt package on my CentOS machine and landed up on this error message – ImportError: No module named virtualenv.
./letsencrypt-auto :::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/virtualenv", line 2, in <module> import virtualenv ImportError: No module named virtualenv
By default virtualenv was installed under ‘/usr/local/bin‘, but executing the program throws the same error:
$/usr/bin/virtualenv Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/virtualenv", line 2, in <module> import virtualenv ImportError: No module named virtualenv
How to fix this error?
Answer:
Since the default ‘virtualenv‘ throws the same error (may be it was not installed properly or corrupted), you may try installing the package again using Python-pip (this tutorial will help you to install pip)
$pip install virtualenv :::: Installing collected packages: virtualenv Successfully installed virtualenv-13.1.2
Once done, check if ‘/usr/bin/virtualenv‘ is working properly. The command ‘/usr/bin/virtualenv’ without any options should print the command help.
That’s it. Hope it works for you.
