I'm trying to install a python package on my mac (nltk) that requires
another package that I installed (yaml). I've had some messy problems with
using macports to install python packages, but I think I just found out what
the problem is. I installed yaml using macports, so it is found in
/opt/local/lib/.... I've set my PYTHONPATH to use it, so I can start python
in a terminal and import yaml just fine. But when I try to install nltk
from source, I run sudo setup.py install, it gives me an import error ("No
module named yaml"). I discovered that when I just type sudo python and get
an interactive interpreter, I can't import yaml, because /opt/local/lib/...
isn't on my PYTHONPATH. I searched for a while trying to figure out how to
set my system PYTHONPATH on osx, but I can't find anything helpful. Any
help?
