Cannot run paho mqtt client -> "ImportError: No module named paho.mqtt.client"
Solution 1
The problem is that the library "paho" has been installed (for default) in the folder "/home/pi/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages" but "sudo python" search this library in the folder "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages". I have solved with one link:
cd /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
sudo ln -s /home/pi/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paho
Now my script run also with "sudo"
Solution 2
A quick solution is to install the library in the specific directory
cd <directory>
sudo pip install paho-mqtt -t ./

I am trying to set up an mqtt client, but I am getting an ImportError:
I installed paho with:
pip install paho-mqtt
It said:
Successfully installed dnspython-1.15.0 paho-mqtt-1.3.1 python-etcd-0.4.5 urllib3-1.22
But when I am trying to call my python script with
sudo python listen.py
it says:File "listen.py", line 6, in <module> import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt ImportError: No module named paho.mqtt.client
When I am typing
python --version
it says:Python 2.7.13
and when I callpip freeze
paho is listedpaho-mqtt==1.3.1
Any suggestions what's wrong?
