I am working on mac OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.3.
I installed python2.7 and pip using macport as done in
http://johnlaudun.org/20150512-installing-and-setting-pip-with-macports/
I can successfully install packages and import them inside my python environment and python scripts. However any executable associated with a package that can be called from the command line in the terminal are not found.
Does anyone know what might be wrong? (More details below)
For example while installing a package called “rosdep” as instructed in http://wiki.ros.org/jade/Installation/Source
I can run: sudo pip install -U rosdep
which installs without errors and corresponding files are located in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages
However if I try to run : sudo rosdep init,
it gives an error : "sudo: rosdep: command not found"
This is not a package specific error. I get this for any package installed using pip on my computer. I even tried adding
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages
to my $PATH.
But the executables are not found on the command line, even though the packages work perfectly from within python.
