Hi there,

Got a heads up from stackoverflow.com to ask the question here.

I'm going through the matplotlib documentation and prepared to use the iPython interactive Python shell with ipython -pylab. However I get this:

MBP:~ Me$ ipython -pylab
-bash: ipython: command not found

Did I fail to install iPython? I used easy_install as advised.

Any ideas?

Update

Thought I'd just say that I found the iPython "executable" in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin after doing a Spotlight search.

Still a little confused as to what to do.
