Hello,

I have the following problem. I installed MISO with pip like described in the installation guide using:

$ pip install misopy

After several attempts it finally worked. I did the first testing step of the installation:

$ module_availability

Here again there were no problems. Right after that I tried to do the unittest with:

$ python -m unittest discover misopy

I tried it without root and after it failed I tried it with root and I got the following message:
