Re: [Gnuplot-py-users] Installing gnuplot-py-1.7 on Mac OSX

You don't need to be administrator,...but it helps.

Otherwise, you can instead install in your local directory. Make a
folder to install into. On my system, I created "/home/no228/python".
Then run install as follows:
"python setup.py install --prefix /home/no228/python"

Then, set the environment variable PYTHONPATH to include this new
location, so that python will be able to find these locally-installed
libraries.

On my system (bash):
"export PYTHONPATH=/home/no228/python/lib/python2.4/site-packages"

To test, type:
$ python
>>> from Gnuplot import *
(there shouldn't be any error messages)

 Noel
