Error importing Shell

[Stephen Ng]

I'm trying SimpleCV 1.2 on a fresh Ubuntu 12.04; I get an error following the instructions on the tutorial:

Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 20 2012, 22:44:07) 

[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> from SimpleCV import Shell

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/SimpleCV/Shell/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>

    from Shell import *

  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/SimpleCV/Shell/Shell.py", line 35, in <module>

    from IPython.Shell import IPShellEmbed

ImportError: No module named Shell

Hi Stephen -- 12.04 ships with ipython 0.12, so I'd recommend you use the latest version on github:

(sudo easy_install pip)

sudo pip install https://github.com/ingenuitas/SimpleCV/zipball/master

[Stephen Ng]

Okay, I did all that (including installing easy_install) but still exactly the same error...

This is a completely clean 12.04 with nothing else installed, running under VirtualBox.

Sorry, you may need to run pip with the --upgrade flag or "pip uninstall SimpleCV" first

then you should just be able to run "simplecv" from the command line

Thanks, that works!

BTW, "example list" produces no output; is that correct?

I ran a few other commands and they seem to work.

You're correct -- Kat,  were any Summer of Code students working on the example/tutorial stuff?
