Hi
I have a droplet using the one click Ubuntu Ruby on Rails on 14.04 (Postgres, Nginx, Unicorn).
Within my /lib/assets folder i have a ruby script that uses mx module to find the date. I run it with ```result = `python script.py````
This works fine on my local computer running Ubuntu 16.04, but with the droplet I get the following error:
ImportError: No module named MX
Obviously Python is installed and I can run other scripts.
I have tried a few suggested remedies from the internet including with a server restart:
apt-get install egenix-mx-base
also I’ve tried this, although it seems to be for a different module https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26031160/importerror-no-module-named-datetime
cp /usr/bin/python2.7 $(which python2.7)
None of these are getting it to run and I face the same error. If anyone can help me I’d really appreciate it.
Cheers

What happens if you run your script directly?
python script.py
Paste the full traceback. Also paste what Python is used:
