Installer issue: installed in python3.4 package folder and not python 2.7. from Cogsci PPA #54

Hey there,

Sorry, I had no idea where else to report this...

Today I have tried to update my pygaze because the plugin version I was using did no longer work in Opensame 3.0 . However, both running sudo apt-get install python-pygaze, OR running sudo ./setup.py install manually did not properly update my package.

After some digging around I found out that both were installing the package in my /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/pygaze/, thereby making it invisible to python 2.7 (and thereby invisible to opensesame and others). I could fix it by running python setup.py install instead, but perhaps the installer could/should be updated to assert both python dist's have the proper version running?

Thanks, W

Hi Wouter,

Are you running a beta of Ubuntu 16.04 by any chance? I understood that they are moving toward Python 3 as default, so I can imagine this kind of confusion arising.

Cheers, Sebastiaan

Nope, I'm actually very delayed with my updates and still on 15.04 -- default sym-link to python is still 2.7 (which I guess is why I could fix it by running python setup.py install)

I just spotted that setup.py starts with:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

...that would probably be the culprit then, wouldn't it?
