import python module

I tried to install a module using easy install. It seems to have been installed but I am not able to import it.

Did you look at what you posted :)?

Installed /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/uuid-1.30-py2.6.egg

# python -V
Python 2.4.3

If you're using Python 2.6 (which you should, since even that is old by now, 2.4 is ancient), the uuid module should be present already, so you shouldn't need to install it anyhow.

The easy_install clearly indicates that the module was installed to /usr/lib/python2.6, but you're running Python 2.4.

Either run Python 2.6 explicitly (e.g. python2.6 or python26), or use python -m easy_install uuid to install the module to your default Python.
