python3 package 非root用户无法导入

Question

I'm trying to import a python3 module using pip3 as root user. I could import the same installed python3 module as root user. Now when I try to import that module after exiting from sudo and as normal user, I cannot import it. I added the PYTHONPATH variable with installed module path. Still I could not figure out the issue.

Basically I need the installed python3 library to be used by any user who logs in to the machine.

[root@mymachine /home/user]
 pip3 install kubernetes

The command was successsful as you can see below:

[root@mymachine /home/user]
 python3 -c "import kubernetes"

Now I exited from root user and got logged in as "user" and tried to import kube.netes here. It failed.

[user@mymachine]
$ python3 -c "import kubernetes"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'kubernetes'

Answer 1

It seems you have a file permission issue. try uninstall the package, make sure umask is 022 and reinstall it with root user or via sudo again. something like:

sudo pip uninstall kubernetes
umask 022
sudo pip install kubernetes

Answer 2

as user run:

python3 -m pip install kubernetes

and then try running your code again
