adding 'PyLit' pure python module on OS X

I'm trying to add a module to my PYTHONPATH permanently, I know this could sound like a duplicated question, but I tried all the solution that i could find.

what I want to do is:

the instructions to install it are: 

Install
As PyLit is a pure Python module, installation is straightforward: Put pylit.py in Python's Module Search Path.

I need this module to be added permanently. I tried:

  • adding it in my .bash_profile in my $PATH
  • creating in my .bash_profile a $PYTHONPATH new var
  • adding it to my: /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages
  • tried using Anaconda (and pip)

I'm a newbie with Python, but I have given a look at the module I want to add, and the structure seems weerd, usually I use a setup.py file but it is missing.

python setup.py install

I hope someone can help me out... Thanks

Solution

  • I just solved my issue... There were conflicts between ma python versions. I basically removed python 2.7 and reinstalled it.

    Then I tried again with the pip approach and, after rebooting my mac book pro, everything worked just fine.
