No wonder I couldn’t find “easy_install” itself, they’ve buried it in python-setuptools.

@Manu if you installed the graph package using easy_install and is trying to import graph from a user account maybe it is some permission issue. Do a “ls -l ” and watch the permissions of the PYTHONPATH files.

I have a problem in importing graph
import graph
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in
ImportError: No module named graph

What can I do to figure out this problem?

Any help could be appreciated

So how do you “easy” install a local egg file?

Also, I would add the packages python-dev and python-devel as _lots_ of egg based packages require them.

I’d spotted some postings on Python Eggs while it was being developed, but frankly it wasn’t making a lot of sense at the time. I guess that was because I didn’t know anything about Perl’s CPAN, and it was being compared to that.
