rb-site install location?

I'm working my way through the linux install directions for ReviewBoard here.

After many trials and tribulation, I was able to run

python -m pip install ReviewBoard

And it reports that ReviewBoard-3.0.20 was successfully installed (among many others).

But, when I try

which rb-site

nothing is found. I see from other conversations here that the likely problem is that my PATH just doesn't include the path containing rb-site. But I'm having a heck of a time trying to find it!

I've tried

python -m pip show ReviewBoard

which dutifully cites its location at

/home/build/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/reviewboard

But there's no sign of it there... or anywhere I have looked so far...

Am I missing a step?

Clarification: When I say "there no sign of it there"... I mean "there is no sign of rb-site". Where is rb-site suppose to be found? Do I need to run the ReviewBoard module to generate it? eg:

python -m ReviewBoard

This yields:

/usr/bin/python: No module named ReviewBoard

...even though ReviewBoard is listed by:

python -m pip list

Hi Nathan,

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

In any typical Python install, rb-site would be installed in your path somewhere. It sounds like you have something a bit more specialized set up, if things are going into /home/build/.local. My guess is that rb-site ended up in that path somewhere, in a bin/ or a scripts/ directory (managed by Python). If so, you'll need to ensure that's in your path.

On standard installs, rb-site would end up in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin.

How is that Python installed?

Yup, as you predicted I found rb-site in:

/home/build/.local/bin

Thanks!

Something that might pose a problem is that, if you're using Apache + mod_wsgi, it's going to expect a system-level install. You'd have to explicitly set PYTHONPATH and probably some others to point to custom install.
