I am using Python 2.7

I tried importing a module named hello.py

I got this error message

Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in import hello
ImportError: No module named hello

I am not sure why, Can you please give me more insight about the proper
syntax and the PYTHONPATH directory.


Please use plain text emails otherwise the formatting gets all messed up (as in the error message above)

The most likely problem is that the folder containing hello.py is not in your import path. You can fix that by changing your PYTHONPATH environment variable or by modifying sys.path.

If you are using Windows then the PYTHONPATH solution is documented in my tutor in the Getting Started topic. It describes how to set PATH but the process for PYTHONPATH is exactly the same.

Otherwise tell us which OS you are using and we can help.
(Or Google environment variable for your OS, there are lots of web pages that describe the process!)
