When I saved the code and ran it as a module from IDLE, I got the following message: Processing setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg Copying setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg to /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages Adding setuptools 0.6c11 to easy-install.pth file Installing easy_install script to /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin Installing easy_install-2.6 script to /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin Installed /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg Processing dependencies for setuptools==0.6c11 Finished processing dependencies for setuptools==0.6c11 This seemed promising. However, trying to run "easy_install NetworkX" or "easy_install networkx-1.5-py2.6.egg" just returns an invalid syntax error message. I'm guessing that my lack of understanding of running script "as root" is the issue. Thanks again. Thomas OK, my next question is, what does “as root” mean.

When I saved the code and ran it as a module from IDLE, I got the following message:

Processing setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg
Copying setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg to /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages

This seemed promising. However, trying to run “easy_install NetworkX” or “easy_install networkx-1.5-py2.6.egg” just returns an invalid syntax error message. I’m guessing that my lack of understanding of running script “as root” is the issue.

Thanks again.

Today most linux based systems come with some package like python-setuptools already though so you might simply install this instead (maybe it is installed already). Make sure to run ez_setup.py as root though. After that you have a new command "easy_install" available and if a package is on PyPI you can in many cases simply say easy_install NetworkX (again as root in case you are not using a virtual python environment). I just did that and it worked. In this case it will search pypi for that package name, download and install it. It's not working with all packages but with quite a lot. If it does not work you have to download the package manually and follow installation instructions as usual (many times it's python setup.py install). In case you have downloaded an .egg file you can install it as you wrote with easy_install somepackage.egg I hope this helps!

Unfortunately, I don't understand what to do with this. I have read this page and others and I can't make any sense of it, unfortunately. Trying to download Easy Installer at this site: http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py I am thoroughly confused. That site is just a page of code. If I run it in Python, nothing seems to happen. "Once you have done this you can simply install an egg by calling: easy_install somepackage.egg" What does this mean? Do you just type "easy_install somepackage.egg" into Python and run it? I have previously downloaded matplotlib and numpy etc with no problems, but this is causing me a lot of problems. Could you break down the instructions a bit further, please. Thanks I am trying to install NetworkX, which I can download as a Python egg. Unfortunately, I don’t understand what to do with this.

instead of

you should put:
