OK and thanks.

I installed networkx and can now import it in Spyder.

Next I go to https://metis.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ and try to install metis 
(as su) using pip.

I get the following result

cbhe:pip install metis
Collecting metis
/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/requests/packages/urllib3/util/ssl_.py:90:
InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available.
This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cause certain 
SSL connections to fail.
For more information, see 
https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html#insecureplatformwarning.
  InsecurePlatformWarning
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement metis (from versions: 
)
  Some externally hosted files were ignored as access to them may be unreliable 
(use --allow-external metis to allow).
No matching distribution found for metis

So now I am back in the murky depths of a unix-python-module interaction.

Any suggestions as to how to get out of this quicksand?
