[ITK-users] Simple ITK Python not working on Mac El Capitan (10.11)

Fri Jun 17 14:05:25 EDT 2016

Hi,

Where did you get you python from? You are using a version from /Library/Framework/Python.frameworks, which is not the system version.

The error with the first command gives you a suggestion on how to solve the problem. 

The second error appears to be a binary compatibility issue with the distribution you have of python.

Please read the guidance on the wiki with the different distributions of python, along with following the recommendation to setup a virtual environment.

Good luck,
Brad
