After adding django.contrib.markup to my installed apps, adding {% load markup %} to my template and calling |textile on a template tag, I get the following error:

Error in {% textile %} filter: The Python textile library isn't installed.

How do I install the Python textile library on Webfaction (or Markdown)?

(Or more importantly, I think the question is where do I install the library? Does it go somewhere in my Python 2.6 folder for that app?)

You can install if with easy_install:

1
easy_install-2.6 textile

This will install it globally for your account, so if you'd rather just install it for a single application you can manually download the package and place it into

1
~/webapps/<app>/lib/python2.X/

Better to use virtualenv. pip install virtualenv

You can specify your python version while creating env, virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.6 Then just run pip install textile

It will help you installing it locally, also save you from the pain of installing it from the source manually.
