Question

I\'m having a strange problem while trying to install the Python library zenlib, using its setup.py file. When I run the setup.py file

Answer 1

Your sudo is not getting the right python. This is a known behaviour of sudo in Ubuntu. See this question for more info. You need to make sure that sudo calls the right python, either by using the full path:

sudo /usr/local/epd/bin/python setup.py install

or by doing the following (in bash):

alias sudo='sudo env PATH=$PATH'
sudo python setup.py install
