I've just upgraded to Sage 6.9 from 6.8. I have a large number of packages that I've installed by using: python setup.py install --user so they have been placed in /home/me/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/...
Previously Sage would automatically search this location looking for packages and so I could do "import mypackage" and everything would work fine. It now appears that Sage is no longer searching this path automatically and so attempting to import these packages results in a "ImportError: No module named mypackage". Is this a bug or was no longer loading packages from ~/.local/ a deliberate change? It appears that this has been previously listed as a feature of both Sage and Python, see http://sage-devel.narkive.com/kld2G6DI/sage-python-packages-and-local and https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0370/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
