No module named praw error
I am currently trying to run a script change_wallpaper_reddit.sh which calls change_wallpaper_reddit.py. I get this error, however:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/sharan/Daily-Reddit-Wallpaper/change_wallpaper_reddit.py", line 7, in <module> import praw
ImportError: No module named prawHowever, when I do a pip install praw:
Requirement already satisfied: praw in /home/sharan/miniconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Output of pip --version:
pip 9.0.1 from /home/sharan/miniconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)Output of /usr/bin/env python --version:

From Python 2.7.13 :: Continuum Analytics, Inc. what I can see is that you are running a third party version of python as your default python.
You can change your PATH environment variable and give a higher priority to default python:
PATH=/usr/bin:$PATHOr open this file: change_wallpaper_reddit.py, it starts with a line similar to: #!/usr/bin/env python, change it to #!/usr/bin/python2.7.
Save the file and run your script again.
If you get any other error related to modules just install those modules too.
Also install the modules using apt instead of pip because I believe your pip is installed using the third party python and packages installed using it are not available to your system's python.
