Description

HUE installs its own python2.6 (inside /usr/lib/hue/build/env/bin) and modules location: /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages

Hue's RDBMS view (when configured with PostgresSQL) requires the psycopg2 module.
The 'yum install python-psycopg2' command installs psycopg2 in the default python lib folder: /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages . The later is not accessible by the Hue's python configuration which in turn leads to errors like this:

"Server error occured: Error loading psycopg2 module: No module named psycopg2"
