Hello, I have a Python project which is basically a set of command line scripts and a helper package. As these scripts have a number of command line options I decided to create a manual page for each script and used ronn (http://rtomayko.github.com/ronn/) to write manuals in Markdown and generate mdoc from it. The question is: how to g...

What's the best way to install two python modules with the same name? I currently depend on two different facebook libraries: pyfacebook and Facebook's new python-sdk. Both of these libraries install themselves as the module 'facebook'. I can think of a bunch of hacky solutions but before I go an hack away I was curious if there was a py...
Is there some way to import an extension from an .egg file? For example hggit installs itself as hg_git-0.2.4-py2.5.egg, which cannot be listed under [extensions] directly, or it's interpreted as a standard .py file. Is there some way to include that file as an extension? Alternatively, is there some way to install hg-git manually in a...
Often when I install .exe files made from python files I get an installation manager that is blue and has the logo "python powered". What is the name of this manager? I'd like to use it to make some installable python files. ...

When I run python setup.py sdist it creates an sdist in my ./dist directory. This includes a "PROJECT-egg.info" file in the zip inside my "dist" folder, which I don't use, but it doesn't hurt me, so I just ignore it. My question is why does it also create a "PROJECT-egg.info" folder in my project root directory? Can I make it stop ...

I am wanting to create a suite of interrelated packages in Python. I would like them all to be under the same package but installable as separate components. So, for example, installing the base package would provide the mypackage but there would be nothing in mypackage.subpackage until I install it separately. Is this possible with di...
I've got a program/joke that needs a reasonably large data structure to operate, (a dictionary that takes a few seconds to construct) and I would like to create and pickle it into the installation dir when running python setup.py install. setup() in distutils.core looks like it shouldn't exit, so I thought that I could just import my mo...
Right now I've got a project that has the following layout: foo/ __init__.py __main__.py foo.py In this case, foo.py is actually the main api file, so developers are meant to do "from foo import foo", but I also wanted to make it so that end users could just run ~$ foo and get an interface. which, when I do a distutils install,...
I have read the documentation but I don't understand. Why do I have to use distutils to install python modules ? Why do I just can't save the modules in python path ? ...
In my organization, we have a couple of internally developed Python packages. For sake of example, let's call them Foo and Bar. Both are developed in separate Git repositories. Foo is a Pylons application that uses certain library functions from Bar. Neither is publicly distributed. When we deploy Foo, we typically export the latest rev...
