Macos ipython:在OSX上找不到命令

不久前，我在OSX上使用brew和pip或easy_install（我不记得是其中的两个）安装了python科学环境（numpy、scipy、matplotlib、pandas、ipython）。现在，如果尝试运行ipython，我会得到：

-> ipython
-bash: ipython: command not found

然后我做了：

-> sudo find . -iname "*ipython*"

我很惊讶没有看到任何/bin目录

然后我试着重新安装ipython

-> pip install ipython
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): ipython in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Cleaning up...

这真令人困惑。欢迎任何想法。

在

$HOME

中创建

.pydistutils.cfg

，内容如下

[global]
verbose=1

[install]
install-scripts=$HOME/bin

[easy_install]
install-scripts=$HOME/bin

跑

pip install -U --user --force ipython  

查看一下解决方法（至少对于ipython）是将这些行添加到

~/.pydistutils.cfg

：

[安装]
安装数据=/usr/local
安装脚本=/usr/local/bin

您确定调用的

pip

属于自制的Python吗？从您的文件列表来看，您似乎已在系统Python中安装了

ipython

，因此它已将可执行文件放入

/usr/local/share/Python

中。您的建议导致

错误：无法将user与prefix、exec_prefix/home或install_（plat）base

。我可以用这个来纠正它。现在ipython工作正常了。
