You can determine your python version by typing "python --version" from the command line. It is recommended to install the software in a location other than the standard Python location for modules (the default 'site-packages'). This is also the only solution if you do not have write permission to the default 'site-packages'. Here is how you install the software somewhere other than the default location: $ python setup.py install --prefix=/your/favorite/location '/your/favorite/location' must already exist. This command will install executable scripts in a 'bin' subdirectory, the documentation in a 'share' subdirectory, and the modules in a 'lib/python2.7/site-packages' subdirectory. Because you are not using the default location, you will need to add two paths to your environment. You might want to add the following to your .cshrc or .bash_profile, or equivalent shell configuration script. C shell (csh, tcsh): setenv PATH /your/favorite/location/bin:${PATH} setenv PYTHONPATH /your/favorite/location/lib/python2.7/site-packages:${PYTHONPATH} Bourne shells (sh, bash, ksh, ...): export PATH=/your/favorite/location/bin:${PATH} export PYTHONPATH=/your/favorite/location/lib/python2.7/site-packages:${PYTHONPATH} If you added those lines to your shell configuration script, make sure you source the file to activate the new setting. For csh/tcsh: $ source ~/.cshrc $ rehash For bash: $ source ~/.bash_profile Read the documentation in /your/favorite/location/share/disco_stu.pdf and enjoy!
