I recently looking at the cctbxbb mailing archive and I came across your email response a few months ago :


I was wondering if you could elaborate a bit on how to use the wrappers cctbx.python? I consider myself to be quite a beginner in this area and can't seem to import the same module,

import scitbx.array_family.flex
ImportError: No module named boost.optional
When I do I receive the same error about having boost.optional being an import dependency. If you are able to, please be as explicit as possible, I am pretty bad with common conventions and terminology, as I have never studied computer science or any related area formally. Any help would be much appreciated!

How are you running Python?  Does the command below run without errors?

cctbx.python -c "import scitbx.array_family.flex"
