...and most importantly: 4) The path to easy_install may not get added to your PATH environment variable, so using the full path to easy_install might be necessary when issuing the easy_install command. If you get an error that says: easy_install: command not found then you will need to use the full path to easy_install. Some installs will put easy_install here: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ Versions/2.6/bin/easy_install Others will put it here: .... If can't locate easy_install in any of those directories, you can locate easy_install using the find command: find / -name easy_install -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
