Re: [Jython-users] sudo jython ez_setup.py

[Stefan R. <Ste...@gm...>]

Thufir, I may not be the ideal guide for pip etc on Jython, because I always use the dev-versions of packages with Jython, setting up import-path by hand (so I can directly debug stuff). So far I never used pip or ez_setup to properly install packages for Jython, though it's said to work well. That said, you should

- consider to use the --prefix option to select a custom install-path (see pip doc)
- be aware that installing packages with pip or similar tools without --prefix normally requires root-access, also with CPython
- better not mix CPython and Jython package installation paths:
    Your log mentions /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages, which is a location for CPython-stuff.
    That's probably why Jython cannot find packages installed there: It doesn't have it on jython-path by default.
    Maybe the right Jython location should be /usr/local/lib/jython2.7/dist-packages (not sure... maybe jythonbook knows...?)
    (Again: You can choose a custom location using --prefix)

Hope this somewhat helps.

Stefan
