install ipython notebook on my mac OS X 10.7.5

Question

I recently updated my Python from 2.7 to 3.4. I am trying to install ipython notebook on my mac OS X 10.7.5.

$ easy_install ipython3.4
python: posix_spawn: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/
Resources/Python.app/Cont    ents/MacOS/Python: No such file or directory

Also I have

$ which python3
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin/python3

and

$which python
/usr/bin/python

Could anybody help me figure it out? What is wrong?

Answer 1

you should use

pip install "ipython[notebook]"

there are some issues with easy_install and mac.

so i gave this a try on my mac book pro and ran into the same error, although i have both python version installed just fine. and "oh my god" how could i forget to mention... ha, ha, and i ran into the same trap :D

ofcourse THIS is the correct way of installing and most likely you did not have to reinstall your python:

sudo -H pip install "ipython[notebook]"

you need sudo because you are installing in system directories and -H to set the HOME environment var to homedir of target user. using this installation works like a charm.
