using scp in a python script on opensolaris

I have written a python script to transfer files/folders between two machines. I have used scp for this and have included it as import scp but it's giving me this error:

ImportError: No module named scp.

How can I fix 开发者_StackOverflow社区it?

I'm a bit confused... Did it ever work before?

It seems like you just want to write a python script that calls the scp command, not a module.

In which case, do the following:

1. remove the import,
2. and just execute a simple command from your python script.

It sounds like /path/to/scp.py is not in your ${PYTHONPATH} environment variable.You can either move scp.py to somewhere within ${PYTHONPATH} or augment ${PYTHONPATH} to include /path/to either in your operating system or using sys.path in Python.

pip install scp 

Run the above command and then run the script again.
