Blender Python not working. {Fixed}
« on: March 29, 2017, 07:45:48 am »
Hello,

I know there is a lot of threads out there about this topic but none of them have gotten rid of the
"Compiled with Python version 2.6.2
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Checking for installed Python ... No installed Python found.
Only built-in modules are available. Some scripts may not run.
Continuing happily." text.

I have followed-

https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=52835.msg719294#msg719294

and many more but the text is still the same. If you know why this or have any further questions is please let me know.

I think you should probably try uninstalling both, and then try installing Python then Blender. At least, I think that's how I did it. Overall, you should be looking to see this after you install:


I'm using Python 2.6.2, but I need to check which version of blender I have...

No luck it seems, thank you for the suggestion though!

Sorry about that then! I wish I could find the tutorial Ruby/Phloxenfree gave me personally and share with you. I will try to look more into this!

Edit: Actually, I found this tutorial that might help you - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IH8GJrK05Lk

and many more but the text is still the same. If you know why this or have any further questions is please let me know.

It is a problem with Python initialisation, since the site module is imported automatically at start as part of the standard modules (which you should have, somewhere!).

I have found a link that is relevant to your issue, maybe: http://www.edobashira.com/2010/02/import-site-failed-use-v-for-traceback.html
if you follow that, just be sure those folders in the variables actually exist and are the right ones to your Python stuff (since it sounds to me like they are pointing to the wrong place or something, therefore causing import failures for standard modules.).
