In SAGA tutorial: https://github.com/saga-project/tutorials/wiki/XSEDE-2013-SAGA-Tutorial

after pip install saga-python

and before example 1

there should be some documentation about how a user can test if installation was successful. good practice.

Honestly, I wouldn't know how to test the installation -- apart from running some example, which is the very next step anyway. We could describe how to run the test suite, but that needs additional dependencies to be installed.

Also, pip is quite reliable -- if it does not return an error, the installation can be assumed to be complete and functional -- I don't think I have seen anything different, ever...

So, summary: not sure how to address this without making the setup more complex in the end...

I added a similar snippet as AndreL did for BigJob...

Best, Andre.
