It is possible to install numpy with pip using pip install numpy. Is there a similar possibility with scipy? (Doing pip install scipy does not work) Update The package scipy is now available to be installed with pip, so the question is not relevant anymore. ...
I have a script that creates a virtualenv, installs distribute and pip in it and then optionally clones a git repo. Now I have the project I will be working on, installed. But its dependencies are not installed. How can I make pip install all the dependencies as if I have issued a pip install MyApp? EDIT: Appareantly my question is a d...
What are your settings, your tricks, and above all, your work flow? These tools are great but they are still no best practices attached to their usage, so I don't know what is the most efficient way to use them. Do you use pip bundles or always download? Do you set up Apache/Cherokee/MySQL by hand or do you have a script for than. D...
I want to put all the requirements of a repoze Zope2 install in a pip requirements file. Most of the repoze packages don't seem to be on PyPi, but there's an alternative PyPi index for them here. But I can't figure out how to tell pip to use that index together with a requirements file. For single packages, it's easy pip install zopelib...
When I install PIL using easy_install or buildout it installs in such way, that I must do 'import Image', not 'from PIL import Image'. However, if I do "apt-get install python-imaging" or use "pip -E test_pil install PIL", all work fine. Here are examples of how I trying to install PIL using virtualenv: # virtualenv --no-site-packages...
Fabric has become my deployment tool of choice both for deploying Django projects and for initially configuring Ubuntu slices. However, my current workflow with Fabric isn't very DRY, as I find myself: copying the fabfile.py from one Django project to another and modifying the fabfile.py as needed for each project (e.g., changing the w...
Hiya. When I install things into a virtualenv using pip I often see the message "UserWarning: Unbuilt egg for setuptools". I always safely ignore it and go about my business and it doesn't seem to cause me any problems. But I've suddenly been smacked in the face with curiosity, and wondered if someone could explain what it means, exac...
Is it possible to upgrade all python packages at one time with Pip? I saw someone made this a issue: http://bitbucket.org/ianb/pip/issue/4/add-upgrade-and-upgrade-all-commands ...
I'd usually prefer to create virtualenvs with --no-site-packages option for more isolation, and also because default python global packages includes quite a lot of packages, and usually most of them are not needed. However I'd still want to keep a few select packages in global, like PIL or psycopg2. Is there a good way to include them in...
Is there any way to make pip play well with multiple versions of Python? For example, I want to use pip to explicitly install things to either my site 2.5 installation or my site 2.6 installation. For example, with easy_install, I use easy_install-2.{5,6}. And, yes — I know about virtualenv, and no — it's not a solution to this particu...
I'm using pip and virtualenv for my python application. I would like to upgrade to a new version of the application without touching the dependencies. When I use pip install -U, it tries to upgrade all the packages, and even uninstalls and re-installs the same version of a dependency package when there isn't a new version available. I al...
I know the obvious answer is to use virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper, but for various reasons I can't/don't want to do that. So how do I modify this command: pip install package_name to make pip install the package somewhere other than the default site-packages? ...
After installing the BitTorrent-bencode package, either via easy_install BitTorrent-bencode or pip install BitTorrent-bencode, or by downloading the tarball and installing that via easy_install $tarball, I discover that /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/BitTorrent_bencode-5.0.8-py2.6.egg/ contains EGG-INFO/ and test/ directories. A...
Hi, I am trying to get my Django project running on the production server. I setup the environment using pip, so it is identical to the development environment where everything is running fine. The only difference is that I don't use virtualenv on production, because this project is the only one that is going to run on production. Als...
Hi, I had one machine with my commonly used python package installed. and i would like to install the same package on another machine or same machine with different python version. I would like to know whether pip or easy-install or some other method can let me install those packages in a batch. When i use perl, it has something like a b...
A tweet reads: Don't use easy_install, unless you like stabbing yourself in the face. Use pip. Why use pip over easy_install? Doesn't the fault lie with PyPI and package authors mostly? If an author uploads crap source tarball (eg: missing files, no setup.py) to PyPI, then both pip and easy_install will fail. Other than cosmet...
Hey guys, I'm trying to use Tokyo Cabinet in Python via the tokyo-python package. I've installed Cabinet, and the Cabinet development library. However, whenever I try to install tokyo-python with pip or easy_install, I get this ugliness. matt@amalgam:~/$ bin/pip install tokyo-python Downloading/unpacking tokyo-python Downloading tokyo-...
Hi, Got this django project that I assume would run on virtualenv. I installed virtualenv through pip install and created the env but when I try to feed the pip requirements file, I got this: Directory 'tagging' is not installable. File 'setup.py' not found. Storing complete log in /Users/XXXX/.pip/pip.log Here's the entry on the log...
I configured mingw and distutils so now I can compile extensions using this command: setup.py install MinGW gcc complier will be used and package will be installed. For that I installed MinGW and created distutils.cfg file with following content: [build] compiler = mingw32 It's cool but now I'd like to use all pip benefits. So is t...
i am setting up a virtualenv for django deployment. i want an isolated env without access to the global site-packages. i used the option --no-site-packages, then installed a local pip instance for that env. after using pip and a requirements.txt file i noticed that most packages were installed in a "build" folder that is not in sys.pa...
