ImportError: No module named mako.util when running airflow
<p>I'm trying to follow the tutorial on here: <a href="http://pythonhosted.org/airflow/tutorial.html" rel="nofollow">http://pythonhosted.org/airflow/tutorial.html</a></p>

<p>but i'm using a mac, and so i had to install python via <code>brew</code>, which then comes with <code>pip</code>, which i used to install <code>airflow</code>.  However, that didn't quite work either, so i then tried to create a <code>virtualenv</code> for which i tried to install <code>airflow</code> and it is still giving me this <code>ImportError: No module named mako.util</code></p>

<p>not sure if it matters, but here's my setup:</p>

<pre><code>(airflow) [davidtian: airflow]$ python --version
Python 2.7.12
(airflow) [davidtian: airflow]$ pip --version
pip 8.1.2 from /Users/someone/Desktop/blah/airflow/airflow/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)
(airflow) [davidtian: airflow]$ 
</code></pre>

<p>How do i install this <code>mako.util</code> module?</p>

<p>Finally figured it out. after trying a bunch of things. for one, the python that comes with Mac apparently doesn't work very well. you have to <code>brew install python</code> instead. with that python, it comes with <code>pip</code> by default</p>

<p>i had to actually <code>sudo pip uninstall airflow</code> and then install it again.</p>
