Does this help? https://www.pythonanywhere.com/wiki/InstallingNewModules

potentially yes but i can't launch the console to find out - is there a problem with it? thanks

i have managed to install successfully: 13:23 ~/recharge (master)$ pip install --user boris

thank you

however my page still won't load: ImportError at / No module named boris Request Method: GET Request URL: http://lz7cjc.pythonanywhere.com/ Django Version: 1.7.1 Exception Type: ImportError Exception Value:

did you hit 'reload' on your web app?

yes

Ah. Maybe check out the debugging instructions here? https://www.pythonanywhere.com/wiki/DebuggingImportError

i have read through them and am utterly confused! However I tried running the first line in the python console:

python -i /var/www/lz7cjc.pythonanywhere.com_wsgi.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'python' is not defined

however i did manage this simple check:

import boris print boris <module 'boris' from '/home/lz7cjc/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/boris.pyc'>

so it looks like it is there, but not sure what that means for me getting the thing working

when you run python -i /var/www/lz7cjc.pythonanywhere.com_wsgi.py it should be from a bash console, not a python console!
