Just one: when you say that the 'dabo' dir is in your home directory,
is that the 'dabo' folder that contains dApp.py? The reason I ask is that there
is potential for confusion in that when you untar the release, you get a 'dabo'
folder which contains setup.py, as well as several subfolders, one of which is
also named 'dabo'. It is this subfolder 'dabo' that is the Python module.
Let's say you untarred into your home folder. You'd have the following
paths:
/home/allan/dabo/
/home/allan/dabo/dabo/
/home/allan/dabo/daboserver/
/home/allan/dabo/demo/
/home/allan/dabo/ide/
... etc.
If this is what you have, then the dabo.pth file should contain
'/home/allan/dabo', since that's the folder that contains the 'dabo' Python
module. An alternative is to not use the .pth file, and instead create a
symlink to the dabo module folder in your dist-packages directory.
Personally, I find having '.../dabo/dabo/...' confusing, so I create a
'projects' folder off my home, and put all the subfolders there.
