    <p>I have installed a private copy of Python 3.3.3 on Ubuntu 13.10 in a directory under my home directory. I then use the following command to try and install setuptools into my private copy with the results shown below.</p> <pre><code>jonathan@Hades:~/Downloads/Python/setuptools$ ../Python-3.3.3/python ez_setup.py Extracting in /tmp/tmpyx2c9o Now working in /tmp/tmpyx2c9o/setuptools-1.4 Installing Setuptools running install error: can't create or remove files in install directory The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the installation directory: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/test-easy-install-6699.write-test' The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or the distutils default setting) was: /usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/ This directory does not currently exist. Please create it and try again, or choose a different installation directory (using the -d or --install-dir option). Something went wrong during the installation. See the error message above. </code></pre> <p>I also tried the --user option which allowed the install to complete but put the contents under my <code>~/.locals</code> directory, and not where I expected in the site-packages directory of my private Python installation.</p> <p>I had thought that my private copy of Python would take care of finding the right site-packages directory but obviously this did not happen. What do I need to do to get a successful installation?</p>

    2. COI am trying to install into a sub-directory of my home directory so sudo should be unnecessary as well as possibly setting incorret ownership in my private area.

    3. COIt seems like it checks for writing permissions in `/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages` - thats why I ask. What is an successful installation to you?

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
