I have an install of python 2.5 that fink placed in /sw/bin/. I use the easy install command sudo /sw/bin/easy_install wxPython to try to install wxpython and I get an error while trying to process wxPython-src-2.8.9.1.tab.bz2 that there is not setup script. Easy-install has worked for several other installations until this one. Any h...
Is there a way to configure easy_install to avoid having to download the files again when an installation fails? ...
I am using buildout to automatically download and setup the many dependencies of my Plone installation. buildout more or less uses easy_install to download and install a bunch of Python eggs. This usually works, but it doesn't work if any of the dependencies cannot be downloaded or if I want buildout to find an internal package not appro...
I need to use easy_install to install a package. I installed the enthought distribution, and popped into IDLE to say: >>> easy_install SQLobject SyntaxError: invalid syntax What am I doing wrong? easy_install certainly exists, as does the package. help('easy_install') gives me some basic help. import easy_install doesn't change t...
As the title says, does pip support http authentication, like easy_install does? If not, are there any (better) alternatives to running a private package repository? I see pip can access source repositories (git,svn etc.), but can version requirements be used with this? ...
Fedora Core 9 includes Python 2.5.1. I can use YUM to get latest and greatest releases. To get ready for 2.6 official testing, I wanted to start with 2.5.4. It appears that there's no Fedora 9 YUM package, because 2.5.4 isn't an official part of FC9. I downloaded 2.5.4, did ./configure; make; make install and wound up with two Python...
The simplest way to deal with python package installations, so far, to me, has been to check out the source from the source control system and then add a symbolic link in the python dist-packages folder. Clearly since source control provides the complete control to downgrade, upgrade to any branch, tag, it works very well. Is there a w...
I am not a python user, I'm just trying to get couchdb-dump up and running and it's in an "egg" file which I guess needs easy_install. I have Python 2.6.2 running on my computer but it seems to know nothing about easy_install or setuptools... help! What can I do to fix this??? edit: you may note from the setuptools page that there are ...
How exactly do I configure my setup.py file so that when someone runs easy_install the package gets expanded into \site-packages\ as a directory, rather than remaining inside an egg. The issue I'm encountering is that one of the django apps I've created won't auto-detect if it resides inside an egg. EDIT: For example, if I type easy_in...
I am in the process of migrating from an old Win2K machine to a new and much more powerful Vista 64 bit PC. Most of the migration has gone fairly smoothly - but I did find that I needed to reinstall ALL of my Python related tools. I've downloaded the mechanize-0.1.11.tar.gz file and ran easy_install to install it. This produced C:\Pytho...
Hi, I'm installing an egg with easy_install which requires ruledispatch. It isn't available in PyPI, and when I use PEAK's version it FTBFS. There is, however, a python-dispatch package which provides the same functionality as ruledispatch. How can I get easy_install to stop trying to install ruledispatch, and to allow it to recognize t...
What must I put into distutils.cfg to prevent easy_install from ever installing a zipped egg? The compression is a nice thought, but I like to be able to grep through and debug that code. I pulled in some dependencies with python setup.py develop . A closer look reveals that also accepts the --always-unzip flag. It would just be nice to...
Python's easy_install makes installing new packages extremely convenient. However, as far as I can tell, it doesn't implement the other common features of a dependency manager - listing and removing installed packages. What is the best way of finding out what's installed, and what is the preferred way of removing installed packages? Are...
I want my setup.py to do some custom actions besides just installing the Python package (like installing an init.d script, creating directories and files, etc.) I know I can customize the distutils/setuptools classes to do my own actions. The problem I am having is that everything works when I cd to the package directory and do "python s...
I'm trying to install the mysql bindings in a virtualenv. I'd prefer to use pip or easy_install. pip gives me the following error: File "setup_posix.py", line 24, in mysql_config raise EnvironmentError("%s not found" % (mysql_config.path,)) EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found easy_install either gets a 404 from sourcefo...
Trying to add django-registration to my app. I have installed setup tools to use easy_install. I think that works.. I run easy_install django-registation and a cmd prompt window flashes up, does something and closes. I don't think it's an error. But when I look in my app folder, theres nothing relation to django-registration. Anyone kn...
Via fink install I put the following Python version on my Mac OS X computer: python2.3, python2.4, python2.5, python2.6. Further, python is alias for python2.6 on my system. I want to install an egg, e.g. easy_install networkx-0.36-py2.5.egg, where I have to use python 2.5 instead of version 2.6. Is this possible without changing t...
