You are getting something like: Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-T3JieI/bioread Storing debug log for failure in /home/lac/.pip/pip.log when you run pip, correct? So you go read the package documentation and discover that bioread uses easy_install (which you are beginning to learn to hate) instead of pip. So then you try that and you get crud like this: .... File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/setuptools/sandbox.py", line 43, in _execfile exec(code, globals, locals) File "/tmp/easy_install-PGpger/bioread-0.9.5/setup.py", line 3, in <module> ImportError: No module named ez_setup Correct? If this is your problem, go install this package: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ez_setup And then install bioread, still with easy_install If this isn't your problem, write back with more of what is not working, please. Hope this is it :) Laura _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
