Python third party Module global import

Question

i'm currently into learning a bit of python and i want to import the paperclip third party module into my python file.

Yes, i already installed the pyperclip module with pip install pyperclip .

if i create a file on my desktop, i get an error which says Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 1, in <module> import pyperclip ImportError: No module named pyperclip

However if i put the test.py in my python folder, it runs.

The question now is, is there a way to make all my installed modules available on a global scope ? I just want to have my file eg on my Desktop and run it without having import issues.

Thank you.

Greetings

Edit: I'm working on a Mac, maybe this leads to the problem

Answer 1

Found the problem.

The pip install automatically used pip3.5 install
whereas python test.py didn't use python3.5 test.py

Thank you @Bakurìu

Is there a way i can define python3.5 as python ?

Answer 2

You can do this :

pip3.5 install paperclip

pyperclip is install but not paperclip
