bento crash

HI,
I have installed bento with pip. I have the following error:

Hi Davide,

Thank you for the bug report, and sorry for the crash. The short answer is that at this moment, bento should not be installed as root - I checked against this when installed from bento, but forgot to include the check in setup.py. If the issue is what I think it is, you should be ok by running bentomaker help once under root.

The underlying issue is that bento internal parser uses a file which needs to be modified the first time it is run. A proper solution would be to "pre-compile" this file at installation time, but that's one of the currently missing feature of bento.
