What do you mean, "running setup.py unzipped" ??? The correct way to install a package is to: - unzip (untar, whatever) the archive somewhere in your own directory - cd to the unzipped directory - *from there*, run python setup.py install -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: site-packages, unzipepd there but import fails
well the reason i unzipped and placed it in site-packages was because nothign happened when i ran setup.py(unzipped). this has worked with other packages before. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

defn noob wrote: > i unzipped and put the folder in site-packages. when i run setup.py > install nothing happens. Don't do that. Remove it from there. Put it somewhere else (temp), and use $ python setup.py install Look into site-packages afterwards, and see if it got placed there. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: site-packages, unzipepd there but import fails
defn noob a écrit : i unzipped what ? and put the folder which folder in site-packages. which one ? (remember that if you have more than one Python installation on your machine, you'll have more than one site-packages too). when i run setup.py install nothing happens. Well... usually, setup.py install takes care of putting the appropriate things at the appropriate place for your system, so you don't have to "put the folder in site-packages" by yourself. when i do import pp from shell Which shell ? The Python shell ? A bash shell ? it complains it doesnt exist. isnt placing the folder in site-packages enough? move "the folder" from site-packages to somewhere else, cd to "the folder", then run python setup.py install (with appropriate permissions of course). And if you have more than one python install on your system, make sure the one you're using for running setup.py is the right one. these setup.py-files often dont work Python-version confusion issues set aside, I've never had any problem with a setup.py so far (for 'so far' == since I've started using Python some height years ago). But I admit I never tried to copy "the folder" into site-packages *then* run setup.py install from there... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
