mbed-cli - ImportError: No module named prettytable

Hi!

I have tried to follow different links that are similar to this problem and as far as I have understood then mbed-cli should take care of the different missing python libraries.

The output of the import:

MacBook-Pro demo-72-import-cli $ mbed import http://mbed.org/teams/Semtech/code/LoRaWAN-demo-72/

I also checked the pip:

MacBook-Pro LoRaWAN-demo-72 (master) $ pip install prettytable
Requirement already satisfied: prettytable in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Python version is 2.7.10 installed with homebrew. mbed-cli installed by an install script from a official Github repo.

Thank you!

Hi Sven, I had similar issues when I started to use mbed-cli as well. If I remember correctly it was because OSX's python was still in the path.

Cheers, Jens

Thank you for your lead. As to this date, I do not know which mechanisms exactly the pip and python as they are installed on my machine do use. I did figure out that when entering python command line mode, the "import prettytable" indeed failed. I used sudo python -m pip install ... in order to install all the missing pieces.
