The following red material is the newest guidance:
Note that since astropy is in 2.7, 2.7 should really be the default, not 2.6 as it now is.
To run 2.7 on a program sitting in a file called “nameOfThisFile”, Type:
“python2.7 nameOfThisFile” in command line, as Helen did in comments atop her IonRMdailyPlot.py , which is in
/data/psrdata/usr5/rmiono/ionFR-Sobey/
Helen Du figured out the following for finding where (if) astropy is on our network:
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-
is where all the packages are.
I (Helen) got the information from https://stackoverflow.com/
Specifically, “David Hollander” pointed me to the right path. Here’s what he said:
For Ubuntu,
python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()"…is not correct.
It will point you to /usr/lib/pythonX.X/dist-
This folder only contains packages your operating system has automatically installed for programs to run.
On ubuntu, the site-packages folder that contains packages installed via setup_tools\easy_install\pip will be in /usr/local/lib/pythonX.X/dist-
The second folder is probably the more useful one if the use case is related to installation or reading source code.
If you do not use Ubuntu, you are probably safe copy-pasting the first code box into the terminal.

Another note:
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-
while
/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-
