Has anyone tried to install Jonathan Slenders awesome ptpython to Pythonista?

I was able to get it installed through StaSh, but the main install script didn't get installed. When I looked at what it actually did on my desktop, thought it should be easy, but ...

Here is what the code looks like:

import re
import sys

from ptpython.entry_points.run_ptpython import run

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(run())

But when I run it, I get "*Error: No module named entry_points.run_ptpython***" even though I can find the correct package in the site-package directory.

Anyone have a idea of what I might try?

Thanks!

So was trying several things, to no avail. Then I thought I'd just see if I could import the package in the console and see what I get.

Interesting:

>>> import ptpython

>>> import ptpython.entry_points
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named 'ptpython.entry_points'; 'ptpython' is not a package

It doesn't have an issue with the top package name ('ptpython'), but it does to any other under that.

Does this ring a bell to anyone? Is there anything that I could try?

Thanks,
Mike

Maybe the import of an (possible) init.py is not working.

(See: https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/modules.html#packages)

If you can live without "import ptpython.entry_points", then just
continue with "import ptpython"

Thanks tinnet! I'll give that a go and see what I can figure out. I should look at the init.py files as well.
