BPLUSPY-1.0 Installation issue

[mbg1708]

The Bpluspy-1.0 package from Pypi is excellent. The usual setup loads the software into site-packages. Unfortunately, once installed, Python import statements don't find the software.

The fix is to add a "pth" file in the site-packages directory. The file can be called <anything_you_like>.pth and needs to contain a single line of text

BplusPy

Python import statements now work fine.

This fix applies to Python 2.7 in Fedora 18 and Windows XP.

Thanks for posting this!

Have you considered notifying the package's author? Perhaps the installer
script could add the pth file automatically, or fix the package structure
so it becomes unnecessary.

Yup. Tried that. There's no bug reporting link in Pypi (that I could find). And Aaron Watters email address at Sourceforge is invalid....the email bounced back. So.....I tried.....and ended up here...it was the best I could do.
