error when trying to compile function -- ImportError: No module named 'winreg' from six library

[astronomeralex]

I'm using python 3.3, hope 0.3.1, on Mac 10.9.5 with clang 3.4. When I try the basic sum example, I get this error from the six library. I have the most recent version of six (1.8.0) installed and I'm uncertain if this is an issue with hope or truly an issues with six.

In [1]: from hope import jit

In [2]: @jit
   ...: def jitsum(x,y):
   ...:     return x + y
   ...: 

In [3]: jitsum(1,2)

ImportError: No module named 'winreg'

@astronomeralex winreg is not a package HOPE relies on. So the whole thing looks a bit weird. Could you try to run HOPE in a virtualenv. For instance you could clone the repository and then execute the unit tests with make test-all or with tox -e py33.

@cosmo-ethz this bug disappeared after i deleted the .hope directory for Issue #26. This could be some strange error that pops up when switching back and forth between python27 and 33.

Ok good. Glad it helped.
