Dear Angwenyi,

This is actually an idle/virtualenv issue rather than a firedrake one. Basically idle is running the system python rather than the one in the virtualenv. You can get around this by explicitly using the virtualenv python when running idle.

python /usr/local/bin/idle

Dear all,

I activated firedrake in the mac terminal and then opened idle from the terminal but I get the following error while trying to import firedrake in idle:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
    from firedrake import *
ImportError: No module named firedrake

How can I get around this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Angwenyi
