Hi Chao.<div><br></div><div>Are you certain that this command installed readline to your yt python environment? I'm not certain how pip determines which python site-packages to install to, but I think it depends on PYTHONPATH/PYTHONHOME. Anyone know about this?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I recommend...</div><div><br></div><div>$ source /path/to/yt/bin/activate</div><div>$ pip install readline</div><div><br></div><div>You can check that it installed to the right place by navigating to /path/to/yt/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ and seeing if the readline package is there. If it is there and still doesn't work, then this is really weird...</div>
<div><br></div><div>Either way, we should fix this line of the docs because it assumes yt is installed to ~/yt and it doesn't say anything about setting env vars or using activate. Something like /path/to/yt?</div><div>
<br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Casey</div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Nov 5, 2011 at 6:19 PM, Chao Shi <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:shichao116@gmail.com">shichao116@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
