Can't automagically start on Ubuntu

At first:

$ pip install wsstat
Collecting wsstat
  Using cached wsstat-1.2.1.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/tmp/pip-build-3vqNNt/wsstat/setup.py", line 11, in <module>
        raise Exception("websockets requires Python >= 3.3.")
    Exception: websockets requires Python >= 3.3.

However, installing wsstat using pip3 (pip for python3):

Successfully built urwid
Installing collected packages: websockets, urwid, asyncio, appdirs, six, pyparsing, packaging, setuptools, py, pytest, wsstat
Successfully installed appdirs asyncio packaging py pyparsing pytest setuptools-20.7.0 six-1.10.0 urwid websockets-3.0 wsstat

works.. except I can't just run wsstat:

$ wsstat
wsstat: command not found
$ python3 wsstat
python3: can't open file 'wsstat': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Hey @fwsGonzo, thanks for the bug report!

I'd suggest removing both copies and trying again, since with pip it's a race between python 2 and 3 as to who gets the executable in $PATH. A good example is ipython, if you pip3 install ipython then pip install ipython, the ipython executable will always be the python3 version, but if you do it in the opposite order, the installer will actually make 2 separate executables - ipython + ipython3.

Here's the steps I'd recommend following: pip uninstall wsstat pip3 uninstall wsstat pip3 install wsstat wsstat --demo

Please let me know if this doesn't help and we can debug together!

I see! Well, I got it to work at my home computer by only using pip3 so it's exactly as you say. Working as expected :) :+1:

Wonderful! I'm glad it worked out :)

Also if you have any suggestions about things you'd like to see please let me know!
