Forwarding to list
-------- Forwarded Message -------- I did use the pip command and am attempting to add the files to my python path. I used import sys sys.path.append("/Users/Jim/Documents/illustris_python") and that worked. I even checked to make sure the files were there import sys print (sys.path) ['', '/Users/Jim/anaconda/lib/python36.zip', '/Users/Jim/anaconda/lib/python3.6', '/Users/Jim/anaconda/lib/python3.6/lib-dynload', '/Users/Jim/anaconda/lib/python3.6/site-packages', '/Users/Jim/anaconda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/Sphinx-1.5.6-py3.6.egg', '/Users/Jim/anaconda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/aeosa', '/Users/Jim/anaconda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/setuptools-27.2.0-py3.6.egg', '/Users/Jim/anaconda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/IPython/extensions', '/Users/Jim/.ipython', 'Users/Jim/Documents/illustris_python'] the file is clearly there but when i try to do import illustris_python as il it still can't find the module. I also figured that I need to manually export to python path so i tried: export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/Users/Jim/Documents/illustris_python/ File "<ipython-input-14-30d153a77da5>", line 1 export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/Users/Jim/Documents/illustris_python/ ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax I got invalid syntax... using a mac os x I tried typing in terminal open .bash_profile and telling it to export the python path in there like some others recommended but in terminal it is giving me an error message for that... it must not be the right command for the shell.

However, I am having Usual caveat: The tutor list is targeted at the standard library so any help for non standard library modules is best sought from the library support fora. In this case that includes the SciPy forum and any illustris one. Though arguably the OP's problem is an import issue, not really module specific. That having been said, I'll take a guess... $ mkdir Illustris-3 $ mkdir Illustris-3/groups_135 Are these folders in your PYTHONPATH? If not Python will not find them. import illustris_python as il --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last) The OP cded into the new dir; I'd normally expect things to be found if the module was a local file/dir. However... For some reason the computer is not recognizing this as a file on my computer. The CCA folks says this is a coding problem and not an illustris problem. any ideas to get me past this? I may also need help getting farther into the download process. I just ran the OP's download command: wget -nd -nc -nv -e robots=off -l 1 -r -A hdf5 --content-disposition --header="API-Key: d522db2e1b33e36d3b365cc9ac1c2c5d" "http://www.illustris-project.org/api/Illustris-3/files/groupcat-135/?format=api <http://www.illustris-project.org/api/Illustris-3/files/groupcat-135/?format=api>" This doesn't seem to download any Python code at all. It does get a couple of HDF files, presumably with data to work with. So the issue is initially that the module isn't present anywhere. Looking at the instructions cited <http://www.illustris-project.org/data/docs/scripts/ <http://www.illustris-project.org/data/docs/scripts/>>, they only cover fetching som data and working; they presume the software is already present. I don't immediately see actual software installation instructions, and it is not presented in PyPI. Most like the OP will have to install the software directly from: https://bitbucket.org/illustris/illustris_python <https://bitbucket.org/illustris/illustris_python> This command: hg clone https://bitbucket.org/illustris/stris_pythonillustris_python <https://bitbucket.org/illustris/stris_pythonillustris_python> should produce an "illustris_python" in the current directory, and then her import command will find it. However, there are other prerequisites. This pip command: pip install h5py numpy seems to resolve them. The OP will need to use Python 2 because the module seems to rely on a relative import (for its "util.py" file).
