i already have a question, so happy this site exists! I am a total n00b., so sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm having trouble installing certain modules and can't figure out what the problem is. When I do a pip install I get the following message: "pattern in /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages", indicating that the module pattern has been successfully installed. However, when i try to import the module in Eclipse, I get an error message, and when I run help ('modules'), pattern is not on the list. I've also manually added pattern to the /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ folder, but it still doesn't show up when i run help('modules') and still can't be imported into Eclipse. I'm having the same issue with a couple other modules I installed, (or thought I installed) and I'm not sure what the problem is. Any ideas? Thanks!!!!
Update: I know you guys are DYING TO KNOW what happened. It turns out that the problem is Eclipse. Anyone want to recommend a better IDE? Thanks!!
