I started with Turbo Pascal 3, went to TP5, Bought TP6 called Borland the next day and downgraded to TP5.5. Bought Delphi 3, and now have Delphi 5 Enterprise. I sort of lost interest in writing code about 4-5 years ago for two reasons; Spent all day writing ASP & SQL for someone else. PC Techniques magazine went away. I've got a few ...

I imported easy_install: import easy_install and then input the line: easy_install http://svn2.assembla.com/svn/pythonmagickwand/trunk However I got the error SyntaxError: invalid syntax and 'http' was highlighted.

Increasingly I found myself using tools based upon python, particularly that use installation processes involving easy_install. The trouble for me is that I am On an intranet with no internet access On windows (which always complicates things a little!) Any advice on how to setup easy_install on my intranet to make using python bas...
Python's pip and easy_install follow some rules to sort packages by their release numbers. What are the rules for numbering beta/release/bugfix releases so these tools will know which is the newest? ...
We have a common python installation for all of our systems in order to ensure every system has the same python installation and to ease configuration issues. This installation is located on a shared drive. We also have multiple platforms that share this installation. We get around conflicting platform-specific files by setting the --...
I'm trying to install couchapp, which uses easy_install - and is quite explicit in stating a particular version of easy_install/setuptools is needed: 0.6c6. I seem to have easy_install already on my Mac, but there's no command-line arguments to check the version. Instead of just installing a new version over the top, I'd like to see whet...
Hi there! I have a TG 1.0 application (not 1.1 -- I'm not sure I can convince the admin to upgrade) running. I have my own checkout of the project from cvs that I'm developing with, and it's come time to integrate xlwt (http://www.python-excel.org/) into the web app. However, I don't have administrator access and it's not easy to get ...
The last time I had to worry about installing Python packages was two years ago working with Enthought, NumPy and MayaVi2. That experience gave me lingering nightmares related to quirky behavior installing & updating Python packages in non-standard locations (in $HOME/usr/local2.6/, for example). Anyway, my work is taking me back to in...
Hi, I'm trying to bundle some egg dependencies when using py2exe and as stated on the py2exe site, it doesn't work with those and I need to unzip them first. I've tried to first run easy_install -m lxml and then easy_install --always-unzip lxml==2.2.2, but it didn't work. Then I tried to set the unzipping behaviour to default by putting ...
Sometimes I think we have taken a step backwards in programming. In the old days we would just turn on our C64 or spectrum, and immediately we would have a programming environment, and not too many different ways to get a task done (Basic/assembler). Nowadays it is much harder for someone who has purchased a computer (PC or Mac) to progr...

Some useful Python packages are broken on pypi, and the only acceptable version is a particular revision in a revision control system. Can that be expressed in setup.py e.g requires = 'svn://example.org/useful.package/trunk@1234' ? ...

I'm trying to figure out how I can install a python package that doesn't have a setup.py file with pip. (package in question is http://code.google.com/p/django-google-analytics/) Normally I would just checkout the code from the repo and symlink into my site-packages, but I'm trying to get my whole environment frozen into a pip requireme...
