GGC v2 component can not find python module awsiot

Question

I created a GG v2 component and want to use the awsiot component inside a python file of the component.  
So i added this script line to my recipe:  
        "Install":   
        {  
          "Script": "python3 -m pip install awsiot"  
        },  
  
**When i try to run the component the module installs just fine:**  
2021-05-13T09:13:06.470Z INFO (Copier) com.Componet.Test: stdout. Requirement already satisfied: awsiot in /home/ggc_user/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages (0.1.3). {scriptName=services.com.Component.Test.lifecycle.Install.Script, serviceName=com.Component.Test, currentState=NEW}  
  
**But when i try to import the module the error occurs:**  
2021-05-13T09:13:07.125Z WARN (Copier) com.Component.Test: stderr. ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'awsiot'. {scriptName=services.com.Component.Test.lifecycle.Run, serviceName=com.Component.Test, currentState=RUNNING}  
  
I assume it has something to do with user privilegs. Is the python script not called by default with the user ggc_user specified in when installing the core device with the option --component-default-user ggc_user:ggc_group ?  
  
Any advice would be appreciated.  
  
Thanks,  
Sebastian

Installing also awsiotsdk did the trick!

Hi SebastianBerryroad,  
  
You would have to install awsiotsdk https://pypi.org/project/awsiotsdk/ and also add --user in the pip command.   
Could you give this another try with those changes and let me know if that works for you?

Thanks,  
Navya.
