Bokeh - Runserve.py fail

Question

After hearing Peter Wang talk about the Bokeh plotting environment, I had to try it. The problem is I can't even get the examples to work because I can't get the plot server going. I verified the install of all listed dependencies, and installed continuumweb (a module that is curiously absent from the list of dependencies in the Bokeh README on github). However, I still encountered the error below. It looks like this should come out of continuumweb, but I find no trace of such a sub-module within the repo. Am I looking in the wrong place? (I have not found any other instances of this exception.)

If anyone could provide some guidance, I would be grateful...

Answer 1

For some reason, the pip installer did not perform well here. I just started from scratch by cloning the continuumweb repository and installing from source ('python setup.py install' in the cloned directory)...

All is well.

Answer 2

For those who are reading this later, we've had two versioned releases since the original question, and they are all easy to install directly from PyPI via "pip install bokeh". If you are using Anaconda, it's even easier to install via "conda install bokeh".
