When I tried to run the script, I am getting `No module named AWSIoTPythonSDK.MQTTLib`

Accepted Answer

Hi Om. I'm guessing you have both python2 and python3 installed. Can you run the following command to check the version?

```
python --version
```

If it's 2.x, that would explain what you're seeing. If so, easiest way out is probably to edit line 32 of **start.sh** to call **python3** instead of **python**.
