Hi guys, I'm hoping someone can help me out with an error that is doing my head in! I am trying to schedule a task however I keep getting a "no module named" error, I am particularly confused as the script runs fine when I run it on my local machine.

The file I am trying to schedule is 'PortfolioStatus.py' and inside this file I am using this import statement: "from Shares.share_data import share_data"

However I am getting the following error:

File "/home/lucasamos/FYP/Shares/Communication/PortfolioStatus.py", line 4, in module 
from Shares.share_data import share_data 
ImportError: No module named Shares.share_data

As you can see in this picture 'Shares.share_data' definitely exists! Am I making a n00b mistake? Thanks!

It may exist in PyCharm, but if your Python path is not pointing to it, it won't be found. Have a look at this which has a brief primer on how Python finds modules when you try to import them.

Thanks, I have run through all of that, including the "Debugging sys.path issues in web apps" section, it all checks out ok and I can import and run the code from the shell, however I still get the ImportError when I schedule the task

I needed to amend the system path (I thought this was the case), finally worked it out through trial and error and our link. Thanks Glenn
