Techincal question

[bneijt]

Hi, github is a great way to communicate with me. I'm not quick to respond, but other people also have a chance to respond if they run into the same issue.

Could you post the command you are trying to run and what the result is?

That response was rather quick :-)

Anyway, this is what I tried... I might be missing something obvious here...

PYTHONPATH=autotrash python3 -m autotrash:

/usr/bin/python3: No module named autotrash.__main__; 'autotrash' is a package and cannot be directly executed

PYTHONPATH=autotrash python2.7 -m autotrash:

I've added some documentation on running it from git in a new "Development" section of the readme, let me know if that helps. Closing this for now.

Thanks!
