Can't install JPype on Ubuntu 12.04

Question

I've consulted this: Cannot install JPype on ubuntu 12.04 64 bit

And I'm following the tutorial here: https://github.com/johanlundberg/neo4j-django-tutorial

It seems I'm still having a problem installing JPype, despite having done both the things in that answer:

sudo apt-get install python-jpype

and

sudo apt-get install python-dev

The error I'm getting, when I run

python neo4jtut/manage.py syncdb

tells me the module doesn't exist, with

home/username/djangoenv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/neo4j/_backend.py", line 83, in <module> import jpype, os ImportError: No module named jpype

Can anyone tell what's happening here?

Answer 1

Did you try installing it like in the tutorial? Eg, without a virtualenv, sudo pip install /path/to/JPype-0.5.4.2.zip?

Aside- have you considered neo4django?
