I am on Ubuntu16, python3.6 is installed through anaconda distribution.

I have successfully installed MySQLdb module and it works fine when called (say) from the terminal. However, when I try to execute the same python script from PHP (version 7) using 

$tmp = exec("python script_name.py", $input_parameters );

I get the following error message

ImportError: No module named MySQLdb

Any ideas why this might happen? Many thanks in advance.

  • Please check whether you are using the right python installation. Ubuntu comes with its own. Commented Mar 26, 2018 at 18:22
  • You can check with system("which python"); Commented Mar 26, 2018 at 18:29
  • @rollstuhlfahrer, thanks for the reply! the default version is correct (it's 3.6), however since $PYTHONPATH was empty ( anaconda is added to path, so python comes from there) PHP was confusing the version of Python . Anyways, after more googling I found this question stackoverflow.com/questions/6051693/… (and your comment is also in that direction) , which resolved my problem. One needs to specify the full path of python in exec command, that's it. Commented Mar 26, 2018 at 18:38
