when I type:

pip install concrete

installation fails and I get the following error:

Collecting concrete

What version of Python are you using?

The execfile function is part of Python 2 but not part of Python 3, so I suspect you are using Python 3. Unfortunately, concrete-python currently only works with Python 2. concrete-python depends on Thrift 0.9.3, the most recent stable release of Thrift (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/thrift), and this version of Thrift is not compatible with Python 3.

Ah that was a fluke I wasn't aware of. It seems python defaults to Python 2, although pip defaults to Python 3 for me. Calling pip2 explicitly fixed the issue. Thanks for the help!
