GCS Python - cannot get started due to Import Error

[Numeric Lee]

running python3 script from the cloud shell using 

python3 directory/folder.py

the scipt always throws an exception when I attempt to import numpy  or pandas (it will import csv and regex)

the code works locally. 

by all appearances numpy and pandas are properly installed .  I have even reinstalled them multiple times.

ALSO, if I go to the python3 text editor and install "import numpy" at the prompt it also tells me that the module is not found. See Attached. The pip installs to python2.7 but I can see numpy is also installed for python3.4

Perhaps  there an environmental variable I am missing

I have seen people ask the same question on Stack Overflow.

for example

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36784845/installed-packages-disappeared-in-google-cloud-shell

but the answers are not pertinent.

While it shouldnt be necessary, I even tried inserting the red lines in my script  as a workaround without success

from __future__ import print_function, division

import sys,os

sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python3.4/dist-packages')

os.system("sudo apt-get install python-pandas -y")

os.system("sudo apt-get install python-numpy -y")

os.system("sudo apt-get install python-scipy -y")

import  csv, time, re

import pandas as pd

import numpy as np 

 

I dont see this addressed anywhere in your documentation

First install pip3 on Python 3:

sudp apt-get update

sudo apt-get -y install python3-pip

Then install the library using pip3:

pip3 install numpy

Verify installation:

pip3 list
