Hello, I recently looking at the cctbxbb mailing archive and I came across your email response a few months ago : http://phenix-online.org/pipermail/cctbxbb/2014-June/000933.html 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! Sincerely, Garrett Thompson

How are you running Python? Does the command below run without errors? cctbx.python -c "import scitbx.array_family.flex" -Nat
