[python-uk] Python based package installation, how to?

[John Pinner]

Hello Jia,

What version of Linux are you running?

If it's Debian-based, in their wisdom they've changed the search
paths, so that a Python standard install may install to a path that
Debian doesn't search. Youd' need to set your pythonpath to include,
most likely, /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages.

easy_install is redundant after the previous statement.

I'm in meetings for the rest of day: I'm sure soemone else can help though.

Best wishes,
