Hi Gary,
the instructions are probably obsolete now (works on ubuntu 14.04, not sure about newer distros). Cf. https://github.com/sfepy/sfepy/issues/379, see below for further information.

Debian (stretch) Linux OS Using Anaconda3 pip and conda used for installations
I created profile_sfepy directory and content by running ipython profile create sfepy from the /root/.ipython directory. This created the subdirectory profile_sfepy in the .ipython directory. In the profile_sfepy directory, I then tried to edited the ipython_config.py file as suggested in section 2.6 of the tutorial.
First problem: There is no c = get_config() line in the file. The unedited file is attached. Second: exec_lines = [ ] does not exist. There is a: ## lines of code to run at IPython startup. #c.InteractiveShellApp.exec_lines = [ ] . I put the exec_lines = code directly into c.InteractiveShellApp.exec_lines "tuple?" For the rest I found places that fit.
Seems OK.
When running ipython --profile=sfepy I got the following error:
ImportError: Matplotlib backend_wx and backend_wxagg require wxPython
=2.8.12 /root/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/traits/etsconfig/etsconfig.py:429: UserWarning: Environment variable "HOME" not set, setting home directory to /tmp (environment_variable, parent_directory))
I attempted to install wxpython with conda install wxpython and got the following: UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:
- python 3.5*
- wxpython
You do not need to use the wx backend, just remove that line from the config. The reason it was there was to allow non-blocking mayavi windows. The configuration to achieve that might differ on new distros.
I ran conda info wxpython and found that wxpython depends on python 2.7. I use python 3.5 or 6 exculsively.
pip can't find the wxpython at all.
What now?
Try removing the
'import matplotlib as mpl', 'mpl.use("WXAgg")',
lines.
Also note, that you can just run ipython with the default profile, and do the imports from exec_lines manually in order to try the tutorial. Then check the examples with "interactive" in their names - those show how to import things properly in a script.
Does that help?
Cheers, r.
