pyramid start example (4.1) does not run on my machine

[armen]

Dear community,

I am new to pyramid, I followed the installation steps as described
in pyramid 1.0 documentation, but when I try to run the example of
paragraph 4.1 I get the following error:

from pyramid.config import Configurator
ImportError: No module named config

I think pyramid is properly installed in my system as when I type
"from pyramid.config import Configurator" from within the python shell
it works. Additionally, help("modules") command returns a list in
which pyramid is included.
Thank you in advance for your help

Are you sure you're using the same python when trying to start pyramid
and in the shell (path environment)?
I once had similiar confusions when testing with different python
versions and virtualenv.

hi everybody,
This is what I did.
1)I installed a virtualenv catalogue named env
2)I activated the virtualenv, a prefix (env) appeared in my prompt
3)finally I typed easy_install pyramid

Unfortunately the above error appears, local python shell has pyramid
installed.

What drives me crazy is that on my MAC OS desktop computer I managed
to install it using mac ports, however in my both linux machines
(OpenSuse and Arch) it did not.
The weird thing is that "from paster.httpserver import serve" import
works.
I also tested pylons on my linux box (OpenSuse) and it works too.

My only guess is that you're not using the virtualenv "paster" or
"python" when you're trying to start the application.

Also note that if you didn't use --no-site-packages with virtualenv
the global packages are used.
Which should work if you installed it there as you said though.

Do you perhaps have another python package called 'pyramid' somewhere on your path (such as a test app)? Try putting the following before the line that is generating the error:

import pyramid
print pyramid.__path__

Another possibility is that (somehow) you are using a very old version
of Pyramid that does not have a config module. This should not be the
case, though, if you've installed Pyramid within the last two months or
so though.

Sorry, that should have been __file__ instead of __path__

many thanks everybody for your help
Simon's advice sorted out my problem which was really simple.
I had a test python file named pyramid.py so there was a namespace
conflict I guess
