problem importing

[C. Ng]

Hi all,
So I cloned a package xyz from github. OS is ubuntu 12.04.
Then install successfully using "sudo python setup.py install"
Now when I try to import xyz, I get "ImportError: No module named xyz" unless my current working directory is in xyz.
Appreciate your help. Thanks.

Maybe the author called the toplevel package pyxyz or XYZ -- when you don't
provide the actual package name/github url we can only guess.

Or

$ which python

and

$ sudo which python

point to different Python installations.

Solved by the package author. Thanks!
