Lucia,
Please forgive the delay in getting back to you. Dan Wheeler is on vacation and I'm out sick.

(I > think) My guess is that setuptools was available for installation (it has to be, or installation completely fails), but that it is no longer present on your path. Either that, or the FiPy installation never went to completion in the first place. Was there any output when you did $ python setup.py install --home=~ ? (I assume that "$ python setup.py --home=~" was a typo?) What I don't understand is why you get ImportError: No viewers found If setuptools is not available, then you should be getting ImportError: No module named pkg_resources at line 94, as pkg_resources is an element of setuptools. What happens if, from the directory where you unpacked FiPy, you do $ python ez_setup.py ? I would suggest trying $ python ez_setup.py -U setuptools and then trying to install FiPy again.
