I have installed a python library but dreampie won't import it

Question

I have installed a python library in python3.3. When I run the interpreter in Dreampie, it can't find my newly-installed library, resulting in an error like:

>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in <module>
    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
ImportError: No module named 'bs4'

This is a dreampie 1.2.1 bug. To work around it, under Edit | Preferences | Shell, add the following line to the automatically-run code in the black box:

import site
site.main()

I also had to `import site` first – Andrew Brock Jul 30 '14 at 11:05

Or even better: `site.main()` instead of the second line. – Zeus Feb 26 '18 at 02:21
