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?

Hmm, I don't know IDLE at all, but this looks like it isn't picking up the virtualenv. Presumably IDLE is using information from outside the virtualenv you installed firedrake in, which is why it can't be found. I'm not sure how to fix this. Lawrence
