no such executable vd appears after pip3 install visidata

[daveloyall]

I'm using Debian sid. I did approximately the following:

$ apt-get install python3-pip
...success...
$ pip3 install visidata
...some error about bdist_wheel...
$ pip3 install wheel
...success...
$ pip3 install visidata
...success...
$ vd ~/data/my.csv
bash: vd: command not found
$ find ~/.pip ~/local/lib/python3.5 -iname vd
...not found...
$ find ~/.pip ~/local/lib/python3.5 -iname visidata
/home/hobbes/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/visidata
...(that's a directory)...

How should I be invoking visidata? Thank you in advance... Sorry I don't know how pip works!

Hm, that should work...have you tried doing a rehash? (Perhaps your shell has cached an invalid path for vd somehow?) I will try to repro this myself with a Debian AWS instance.

$ rehash
bash: rehash: command not found

It's unclear to me how pip expects to know what is in my $PATH.

Meanwhile, I didn't find any file named vd under the directories that pip3 wrote to. Unless it wrote to some directory not checked in the find commands in my multi-line paste above.

I'm sorry, I don't know. It's unfortunately outside the scope of my knowledge, and it works from a brand new instance for me. Please do update this issue if you figure it out.

The vd binary was placed in ~/.local/bin. Thanks to #python on Freenode for that information!
