Setup
MOOSE includes various python packages within the python directory. In order to use these packages the python directory must be made available to the interpreter, which is accomplished by setting the PYTHONPATH environment variable. The following can be set on the command line or inserted into your bash environment.
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:~/projects/moose/python
