(I'm not sure exactly what SE site my question belongs, I hesitated between stackoverflow, serverfault and superuser. Feel free to give suggestions about this in the comments.)
Here is my problem:
I have two users on my linux computer, bli
and pquarato
. bli
installed python3.6 locally (compiling from source with ./configure --prefix=${HOME}
). The binary is installed in /home/bli/bin
, pip3.6 installs things in /home/bli/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages
. For instance, numpy is installed there:
(bli) $ pip3.6 install numpy
Requirement already satisfied: numpy in /home/bli/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages
I want pquarato
to be able to use bli
's python installation. bli
did chmod -R a+rx
on /home/bli/bin
and /home/bli/.local
.
pquarato
can use bli
's python3.6 binary, but it is not able to import modules installed with pip3.6:
(pquarato) $ /home/bli/bin/python3.6 -c 'import numpy'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'numpy'
The above works without errors for bli
.
What else should I do?
Note: I actually first ran into a problem when trying to get pquarato
to use programs such as ipython3:
(pquarato) $ /home/bli/.local/bin/ipython3
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/bli/.local/bin/ipython3", line 6, in <module>

needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))

raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'ipython==6.2.1' distribution was not found and is required by the application
I hope that the same solution will solve both the ModuleNotFoundError
and the above DistributionNotFound
issue.
