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...
Usually I tend to install things via the package manager, for unixy stuff. However, when I programmed a lot of perl, I would use CPAN, newer versions and all that. In general, I used to install system stuff via package manager, and language stuff via it's own package manager ( gem/easy_install|pip/cpan) Now using python primarily, I ...

I'm just learning the art of writing a setup.py file for my project. I see there's lots of talk about setuptools, which is supposed to be superior to distutils. There's one thing though that I fail to understand, and I didn't see it addressed in any tutorial I've read about this: What if setuptools isn't installed? I understand it's not ...

I'm developing an Python egg that has several .txt dependencies (they're templates used to generate files by the egg itself), and I'm struggling to get those dependencies copied to site-packages during setup.py install. According to the distribute documentation... Filesystem of my package: setup.py package |--- __init__.py |--- main.py...
I'm trying to use Distribute for my project's setup.py. I want it to include all the files in the package folder, which are text and image files, but not .pyc files of course. I read that the files should either be tracked by CVS and SVN, or there should be a MAINFEST.in. So: I use neither CVS nor SVN, I use git. I know that it's poss...

I have an egg distribution of a PyQt application which i build myself, and it contains sphinx generated documentation. When i call the help file from the application it opens the sphinx index.html in a QtWebKit.QWebView window. Apparently, only the index.html file is extracted from the egg into the OS's egg-directory (e.g. [..]\Applicati...
In python setuptools, python setup.py test runs the testsuite. However if I have an import error in my testsuite, the only error message I obtain is an AttributeError complaining that my test class is missing. Is there a way to obtain a more detailed error message, so I can fix the testsuite ? I will explain myself better with the follo...
I have all the eggs my project requires pre-downloaded in a directory, and I would like setuptools to only install packages from that directory. In my setup.cfg I have: [easy_install] allow_hosts = None find_links = ../../setup I run python setup.py develop and it finds and installs all the packages correctly. For testing, I have an...
I have a Python project with mutiple extension modules written in C, which talk to a third-party library. However, depending on the user's environment and options some modules should not be built, and some compiler flags should be enabled/disabled. The problem is that I have to build the list of extension modules before I call setup(),...
Hello! I think about a solution (I guess, server based solution), which inserts affiliate ids/logos into an windows installer (setup.exe, set's up a video converter program, nothing fancy) on the fly. I see the process like this: 1) User clicks on the link with affiliate ID, link requests server for a download file, system on the fly ...
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...
I am trying to compile and install python2.6.4 on Debian 5.0.3 (64bit). I installed using 'make altinstall' as I want to keep python 2.5.2 that comes with Deb5.0 as my default python. Following this, I installed setuptools 0.6c11 using the command 'sudo sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg --prefix=/usr/local'. However, after installing when ...
In some cases, there are various modules which each implement a common API (in my case, the old pure-python elementtree, cElementTree, lxml.etree, and the built-in xml.etree). I can write the module using ElementTree to try each of these options, and take the first one that exists according to my own preference order -- but I can't find ...
I have a simple python application where my directory structure is as follows: project/ main.py config.py plugins/ plugin1 plugin2 ... Config.py only loads configuration files, it does not contain any configuration info in itself. I now want to distribute this program, and I thought I'd use setuptools to do it. The file users ar...
