I assume you are telling me to install ipython from a tar distribution
using setup etc. I originally installed it from the SciPy Super Pack
which apparently put in the site packages, but neglected the script in
/usr/local/bin. Sound right?
On the ipython web site for MacOS X it says to do the following after
the install using python setup.py etc. in the extracted directories,
python setup.py install_scripts --install-dir=/usr/local/bin
Is that what you are suggesting with the pydistutils.cfg ?
Sorry, if I'm dense on this, but I only partially grok the command line
install. Thanks for any help.
