Installing via pip note

[astrophysaxist]

Hi, this is more of a note than an issue. I just grabbed python-fsps using pip, and I ran into an ImportError: Permission denied message when I went to import fsps for the first time.

Turns out pip seems to occasionally set the umask permissions restrictively. I was able to import successfully, though after running:

chmod -R a+rx /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fsps*

Best,
Greg

Thanks for the note (and the fix!). The pip version is also rather out of date, we recommend installing the development version if at all possible.

Thanks for letting me know! I was suspicious that the pip version was out of date because the example was not working. Even with version 0.3.0 though I'm getting:

>>> import fsps
>>> fsps.__version__
'0.3.0'
>>> sp = fsps.StellarPopulation(compute_vega_mags=False, zcontinuous=1,sfh=0,logzsol=0.0,dust_type=2,dust2=0.2)
>>> sp.libraries()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'tuple' object is not callable

But maybe the example is out of date here:

yes the example as given is wrong and I haven't gotten around to rebuilding the pages (see #82, #87)

Cool beans, thanks for the links!
