esys-escript

an installing problem for a new user

Asked by Zhenyu Han

Hi,

I am a new user of Escript, and have installed everything (python-escript_3.4.2-trusty_amd64.deb) as the "install guide " told me.

But when I ran the first example "example01a.py", the compiler cannot find the esys class.

File "example01a.py", line 35, in <module>
    from esys.escript import * # This imports everything from the escript library
ImportError: No module named escript

So what should I do next.

Thanks in advance.

If you are using python to execute the example, you will need to ensure you have the escript libraries in your path.

You should be able to use run-escript (added to your path when you install escript) instead, e.g.:
run-escript example01a.py
