    Out of interest, how much of a bad idea would it be to provide an
    option to install yt to the default pythonpath? I looked at it in
    the past but didn't get particularly far (installing dependencies is
    not something that's particularly my forte...)<br>

      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>

                  Hello everyone,
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  <div>I'm Chao, just started to learn how to use yt and
                    python.  </div>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  <div>After I installed yt following the instruction in
                    the main page, when I invoke iyt</div>
                  <div>or ipython, waring of "Readline Services not
                    available on this platform" and "The</div>
                  <div>auto-indent feature requires the readline
                    library' came out.</div>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  <div>I'm using Ubuntu11.10 shipped with python2.7.2+
                    and when I run this version, readline</div>
                  <div>is available. But I was installing yt, it
                    seems that python2.7.1 was installed along with yt,</div>
                  <div>and consequently ipython and iyt was built upon
                    python2.7.1. I tried python2.7.1 and</div>
                  <div>showed that the readline is not available, and so
                    does iyt and ipython. I don't know whether </div>
                  <div>multiple versions of python caused this problem
                    and I don't know how to solve it. Can</div>
                  <div>anyone give some guidance? I'm new to linux and I
                    apologize if this problem is </div>
                  <div>too obvious to experienced users. But I haven't
                    found effective solution on google.</div>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  <div>Thanks,</div>
