You don't want to untar the source here. You'll want to use some other
directory.

Try untarring in a different directory. Then install as you were. Then
from some other directory (not where you untarred statsmodels) could
you try to import again?

Hi,

  I untarred in my home directory ran the install received this message

Installed /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/statsmodels-0.4.3-py2.7-linux-i686.egg
Processing dependencies for statsmodels==0.4.3
Finished processing dependencies for statsmodels==0.4.3

But when I tried to run the script I got

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/home/khary/Astrophysics/Histogram_Fast.py", line 6, in <module>

    import statsmodels.api as sm
ImportError: No module named statsmodels.api

I looked and it is in the folder is in the directory.

What OS are you on? Are you sure you installed to the same Python your
script is using?

[Khary Richardson]

I am using Ubuntu 12. The script is using python 2.7.3 and statsmodels was installed in 
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-pagkages

Odd. Did you remove the untarred directory from dist-packages first?
Make sure you don't have a statsmodels directory anywhere in there,
then could you cd to the source directory and run

sudo python setup.py install &> build.log

And then post the full contents of build.log either here or on a site
such as pastie.org.

Ok so there are two statsmodels directories in fist-packages. one that is statsmodels-0.4.3-py2.7   and the other has egg added to the file name. Should I remove the egg one and try to run the script ?

I would go ahead and remove them both.
