AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'PhantomJS'

>>> from selenium import webdriver
>>> browser = webdriver.PhantomJS()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'PhantomJS'

I can't seem to get this to work on OSX.

I installed selenium with pip install selenium and I have this version:

>>> import selenium
>>> selenium.__version__
'2.21.2'

I installed PhantomJS with port install phantomjs, and verified that it is the latest:

$ phantomjs --version
2.0.0

I checked its location is in my PATH and my PYTHONPATH, restarted my Terminal, etc., but this did not fix the error.

browser = webdriver.Firefox() works fine.

EDIT:

It seems I was pointing to an old version - 2.21.2 - installed via MacPorts, but I am still unable to correct the problem.

I have got as far as:

sudo pip uninstall selenium
sudo port uninstall py-selenium
sudo port uninstall py27-selenium

And than I tried to reinstall the latest (2.45.0) from pip:

$ sudo pip install selenium
Downloading/unpacking selenium
  Downloading selenium-2.45.0.tar.gz (2.6MB): 2.6MB downloaded
  Running setup.py (path:/private/tmp/pip_build_root/selenium/setup.py) egg_info for package selenium

Installing collected packages: selenium
  Running setup.py install for selenium

Successfully installed selenium
Cleaning up...

But now I can't even import selenium:

>>> import selenium
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named selenium

EDIT 2:

It also appears that pip is pointing to the wrong python. I changed the first line of pip to the correct path, but I'm not sure if this is what I want, and now pip just crashes when I try pip install selenium:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/pip", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/distribute-0.6.14-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 2671, in <module>
    working_set.require(__requires__)
  File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/distribute-0.6.14-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 654, in require
    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
  File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/distribute-0.6.14-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 552, in resolve

My problem was pip was not pointing to the correct python installation.

First I removed all unwanted selenium installations as described in my "EDIT".

Then I removed pip with rm /usr/local/bin/pip and did a fresh install via sudo port install py27-pip.

Then I ran sudo pip install selenium.

And now everything is working.

>>> import selenium
>>> selenium.__version__
'2.45.0'
>>> from selenium import webdriver
>>> browser = webdriver.PhantomJS()
>>>
