according to the sources, this is indeed a typo in the documentation.

this means that python cannot find the "Pd" python-module.
it is unrelated to the PD_DIR setting (which will become important
later, once the module has been initialized correctly).

the problem most likely comes from the fact, that the "Pd.py" is hidden
away in the "src" folder.
as the docs mention "you will not really install pyata, but just use its
source in your program". i guess this means that you should copy the
*contents* of "src" to your project dir (rather than copying the "src/"
folder itself).

most likely this is the correct value for PD_DIR (as the other value
(ending in '/pd') is not a directory at all).
