This documentation is for version 2.0.dev, which is not released yet.
Since we are still working on the first official release of LingPy-2.0 for Python3, an automatic installation with a setup.py or tools like easy_install is currently not supported. To use the library in this pre-setup.py stage, git clone the library from https://github.com/lingpy/lingpy and put the library’s lingpy/lingpy folder in your path (or Python path). Alternatively, you can make a symlink in your Python3 site-packages folder called lingpy and link it to lingpy/lingpy. For example:
$ python
>>> import sys >>> print(sys.path) ['', '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/lib/python3.2', '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/lib/python3.2/site-packages']
ln -s /path/to/lingpy/lingpy /path/to/site-packages/symlink
$ python
>>> import lingpy
Another, simple way, to use LingPy is to include it in your sys-path just before you call the library:
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.append("path_to_lingpy")
