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

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?

Hi,

Spyder is a great IDE; it works straight away after installation and is
intuitive to use. It is an excellent product and a credit to the
developers.!

My problem is that I would like to use other Python modules within
Spyder, e.g., Metis. I have reviewed the posts that discuss this issue
and have tried to follow the advice, but with no success. All the advice
assumes a level of knowledge about unix installations (and wrappers)
that exceeds my ability to interpret that advice.

I think it would be really useful if there was some way to utilise the
vast range of Python modules from with Spyder; perhaps with an installer
like pip. Am I being naive in thinking that this might be possible?

Just import them in your code or the console. The modules do not live in 
Spyder, just where ever you normally install them.


In the meantime can someone tell me how to import modules such as Metis
or PyMetis into Spyder in a way that does not assume a great deal of
unix expertise?
