PycURLLibrary can not load module pycurl while console python can

I'm trying to run some robot tests using python 2.7 and curl on ubuntu 16.04. This requires the python module "robotframework-pycurllibrary", which itself uses pycurl.

Howver, when starting the tests I get the following error:

Error in file ...: Importing test library 'PycURLLibrary' failed: ImportError: No module named pycurl
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PycURLLibrary/__init__.py", line 30, in <module>
    import pycurl

But when I run python in console, I can import pycurl itself, as well as PycURLLibrary. Now first thing I thought of was include paths of course, but after dozens of trys, I somehow doubt it to be the problem.

Any of you any idea? Ever seen something similar?

It sounds like robot and the console are using different values for PYTHONPATH. – Bryan Oakley Apr 20 '17 at 14:04

If you are using a runner script that activates a virtualenv, that would explain it. Same thing as Bryan said, essentially. – ombre42 Apr 20 '17 at 22:24
