[ferret_users] pyferret 7.6-python 2.6 installation problem

[Xiaoyu Bai <xbai1@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear ferreters,

I was updating my pyferret to 7.6 version and only found a pyferret 7.6-python 2.6 version (https://github.com/NOAA-PMEL/PyFerret/releases). I only have python 2.7. So I tried to see if python 2.7 works for this release (maybe I am too naive). It turned out that it didn't work. I got an error like 

 Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named pyferret

while my python path was correct: python_exe="/usr/bin/python2.7" 

I also have the library path:

if [ -z "${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" ]; then
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${pysite}/pyferret"
else
    if ! echo "${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" | grep -q "^${pysite}/pyferret"; then
        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${pysite}/pyferret:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
    fi
fi

Should I wait for a python 2.7 pyferret release or replace my python 2.7 with python 2.6?

Thanks in advance,
