Some colleague gave me a wheel file. I used pip to install it:

pip install some-package.whl

When i run

pip list

the package is displayed just fine. Also, there is a folder with the package in C:\WinPython2_7_10_1\python-2.7.10\Lib\site-packages

The problem is that I could not import it in the code. PyDev in eclipse does not find it.

from some-package import *

gives me an error

What is happening? Is it with my installation or my colleague generated an wheel with an error?

I tried to reload PyDev Interpleter, change names, everything, no sucess.

obs: I am using WinPython 2.7.10 with PyDev

Run `python -vvv` and it will print out import debug diagnostics. – Mikko Ohtamaa Jul 07 '15 at 17:33

Also do `import sys ; print sys.path` – Mikko Ohtamaa Jul 07 '15 at 17:34
print sys.path correctly shows "(..) site-packages folder – guilhermecgs Jul 07 '15 at 17:44
python -vvv shows a bunch of information, but I could find anything related specifically to my package – guilhermecgs Jul 07 '15 at 17:47

FYI `some-package` is not valid Python module name as they cannot contain dashes. – Mikko Ohtamaa Jul 07 '15 at 17:56
actually the name is calculateWheel :-) – guilhermecgs Jul 07 '15 at 17:57

Does it work if you run the script with the command `C:\WinPython2_7_10_1\python-2.7.10\bin\Python.exe myscript.py` – Mikko Ohtamaa Jul 07 '15 at 18:03
SOLVED! It was a problem with the wheel package... The script calculateWheel.py was not inside a package... It was installed in site-packes/calculateWheel.py... So it was not visible from import command – guilhermecgs Jul 08 '15 at 17:27
