   Hi, I tried to ez_install the scikits.ann module got the following:

   sudo easy_install -f http://rieke-server.physiol.washington.edu/~barry/python scikits.ann
   Searching for scikits.ann
   Reading http://rieke-server.physiol.washington.edu/~barry/python
   Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/scikits.ann/
   Couldn’t find index page for ‘scikits.ann’ (maybe misspelled?)
   Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while)
   Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/
   No local packages or download links found for scikits.ann
   error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse(‘scikits.ann’)

   Eli,

   Are you using OS X 10.5 (Leopard)? I don’t have access to any other OS to build eggs. If you’re on any other platform, easy_install won’t be able to find an appropriate egg — you’ll have to get the source from the scikits SVN and install it using the normal `python setup.py install`.

   Yep,

   I’m using OS X 10.5. I have to walk out for a bit, but I will check up on the comments later on today.

   Eli,

   Sorry about the hassle. Grr. Maybe the simpler approach is better…

   Try

   curl -O http://rieke-server.physiol.washington.edu/~barry/python/scikits.ann-0.2.dev_r800-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg

   and then easy_install the resulting .egg. This method worked on a fresh Leopard install here at work. Hopefully it will work for you!

   Barry,

   Two thumbs up. It worked well. I’m going to try it out on my programs and see how it works. Many thanks for building the python module for ANN.

   Cheers
