I am currently trying to install the Enthought Python Distribution (EPD), and have existing python distros. I currently have ipython, numpy and a lot of other tools, plus Sage (an open-source Python science/math distro) installed.

When I tried installing EPD, I tried testing it from ipython with import pandas, which is included in the EPD. This gave me an error. How do I make EPD my default python distro?

My $PATH is this: Users/scott/.zcm/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/texbin

My $PYTHONPATH is currently empty.

Edit: I have also installed ZSH, am running a Mac, and a whole bunch more stuff. It turns out the problem was with ZSH. In my .zshrc I had to add this: export $PATH=/Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/7.3/bin:$PATH The /Library/... was added before the rest of the $PATH.

  • Could you include the entire contents of the error which you were shown? – Andy Hayden Sep 30 '12 at 15:02
  • I was shown no error. But, I found the solution and updated the question. – Scott Sep 30 '12 at 15:39
  • You still say " This gave me an error.", what error did it show you? If you have now solved this, then you should add the solution as an answer (and accept it) rather than editing the question. :) – Andy Hayden Sep 30 '12 at 15:43
  • Will do! And it just didn't work, so it's my bad for saying I got an error. – Scott Sep 30 '12 at 22:50
