Importing Module python

Question

I have added:

export PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:/home/twittercap/alchemyapi"

to my ~/.profile file (ubuntu server environment) and it shows when I run

import sys
print sys.path

but it won't let me import the module using

from alchemyapi import AlchemyAPI

(which I can when running from within the directory.

Any help is appreciated.

Update: I can now import alchemyapi but import alchemyapi.AlchemyAPI returns ImportError: No module named AlchemyAPI (but there is!)

What is in `/home/twittercap/alchemiapi` ? Is _there_ a module `achemyapi` ? Maybe you need to put just `/home/twittercap` into `PYTHONPATH` ? — user3159253, Aug 09 '16 at 12:57
Thanks for your response - have git cloned (github.com/AlchemyAPI/alchemyapi_python) and then renamed it to alchemyapi, I have run source and sys.path.append doesn't solve it either (it is already in sys path) – I have also attempted placing /home/twittercap into pythonpath/sys to no avail. — DiNozzo97, Aug 09 '16 at 23:18
on my mac I am able to just run `sys.path.insert(1, '/home/twittercap')` and it works — DiNozzo97, Aug 09 '16 at 23:19

Resolved: Git cloned again and didn't rename - either the rename messed it up, or else the files corrupted the first time - thanks for your suggestions though!
