I did something that is probably wrong, but here you go:

python setup.py install
cp -r simple.py examples $HOME/sfepy_workdir/
cd $HOME/sfepy_workdir

Without understandying sfepy and just starting to work through the tutorial linearly, I expected that eventually my own FEM code will be based on one or more of the examples. Since I want to have my code outside the sfepy source, I figured on just copying all the examples into my work directory and going from there. Since I'm using EPD I just installed as shown (no root req'd).

This might be a documentation issue in terms of outlining what gets installed where. I wonder also if there is a namespace issue, since if you do a root install you get simple.py (and the rest) in your $root/bin path from that point onward. From that perspective it might be better to have those scripts named something like sfe_*.py, but that's a big change in documentation etc.

I'll try to replicate your steps later, have to run now.
