TypeError: \'module\' objec         


        

Answer 1

A simple way to solve this problem is export thePYTHONPATH variable enviroment. For example, for Python 2.6 in Debian/GNU Linux:

export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python2.6`

In other operating systems, you would first find the location of this module or the socket.py file.
