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? > On 14 Jun 2015, at 11:36 pm, Adrian Klaver <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 06/14/2015 02:43 AM, Chrise123 wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Spyder is a great IDE; it works straight away after installation and is >> intuitive to use.
