[Tutor] Installing modules with easy_install

[Ray Jones]

I'm working on another Python replacement for a Bash script, and I ran
into a need for enhanced time zone functions. Following directions I
found on a web site, I did the following:

# easy_install --upgrade pytz
Searching for pytz

Everything I'm reading suggests that now I should have the pytz module
available to me. But from iPython:


In [1]: import pytz
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

/home/ray/<ipython console> in <module>()

ImportError: No module named pytz


In [2]: import pytz-2012d
------------------------------------------------------------
   File "<ipython console>", line 1
     import pytz-2012d
                ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax



So what do I need to do to get Python to recognize this module?
