ImportError: No module named tweepy

I installed pip in a virtual environment. It installed without errors. Here's what I get when I run sudo pip install tweepy after activating the venv:

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): tweepy in  
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tweepy-3.1.0-py2.7.egg
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): requests==2.4.3 in
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests-2.4.3-py2.7.egg (from tweepy)
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): requests-oauthlib==0.4.1 in 
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests_oauthlib-0.4.1-py2.7.egg (from tweepy)
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): six==1.7.3 in 
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/six-1.7.3-py2.7.egg (from tweepy)
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): oauthlib>=0.6.2 in 
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from requests-oauthlib==0.4.1->tweepy)
Cleaning up...

So, I'm sure it worked.

When I run a sample tweepy script I get this error:

./twitterStream.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./twitterStream.py", line 6, in <module>
    import tweepy
ImportError: No module named tweepy

My script wasn't specifying any python interpreter. To make sure it wasn't looking else where I now specify the interpreter in the venv.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Edit: solved the errors thanks to: ImportError: No module named _io in ubuntu 14.04

Don't use sudo to call pip when you're in a virtualenv: the root user won't have the virtualenv activated so the package is installed globally, as you can see from the paths. Just run pip install tweepy.

For installing the tweepy module just write pip install tweepy and it will work

Since you are using virtualenv you don't need to use sudo.
