Python: Installed a local package with pip3, but got module not found error

Question

Procedure:

• I strictly followed the instructions here: https://python-packaging.readthedocs.io/en/latest/minimal.html
• Except that I used the pip3 install -e .

Error:

It still can not find the module:

python3
Python 3.6.5 (default, Apr 25 2018, 14:26:36)
import funniest
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'funniest'

However, when I import the module in python, it CAN find it:

python
Python 2.7.10 (default, Feb  7 2017, 00:08:15)
import funniest

My python:

sys.executable
'/usr/local/opt/python/bin/python3.6'

Question

Why pip3 installed it for python 2.7 not for my python 3.x ?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Following the hint from @hoefling, I found that my pip3 is somewhat linked to a wrong python version.

Then install with python3 -m pip install worked.
