Including third party libs with buildout
by Phil 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

Hi, I¹m having a bash at writing a buildout script for an app I¹m working on. My app uses some third part stuff like pygtk and vlc¹s python bindings which buildout does a great job of setting up in my dev environment. The problem I have is when I want to produce a final distribution - for example, in the config below do I make sure that the libs created by the [pygtk] and [vlc_bindings] sections are packaged in my final deployment (using bdist the .so files should just be in the libs/ directory and using sdist, I guess the source should be bundled)? Nothing I have tried seems to work (adding them to the eggs section of [mySop] or including them in setup.py as requirements). I¹m sure there must be an easy way to do this but it has me stumped! Any help greatly appreciated, Phil. setup.py from setuptools import setup, find_packages setup( name='mySop', version='0.1', packages=find_packages('.'), include_package_data=True, package_data={ 'SopGui':['data/mySop.glade.xml'] }, entry_points={ 'console_scripts' : ['mySop = MySop.main:entry_point'] }, ) ********************** buildout.cfg [buildout] parts = sp-sc pygtk vlc_bindings glade_xml mySop develop = .

Vista x64 + Python 2.6 = easy_install setup issues

I've successfully replicated this on both my laptop and my desktop. User Account control is turned off on both machines. Python exists in non C:\ partitions on both. I download the easy_install package, run setup python install in the directory, and get the following: Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6001] Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation.

Expressing a dependancy on ElementTree
by Ross Vandegrift 07 Nov '08

07 Nov '08

Hello everyone, I have a library that depends on ElementTree and needs to support both Python2.4 and Python2.5 style inclusion of the library. In Python2.4, it's a standalone package and can be fetched by "elementtree>=1.2". In Python2.5, it's integrated into the standard library as xml.etree. If I pass "elementtree>=1.2.6" in install_requires, setuptools downloads the Python2.4 standalone version of the package under Python2.5. Any way I can express a dependency on elementtree if and only if I'm installing into 2.4? -- Ross Vandegrift ross(a)kallisti.us "If the fight gets hot, the songs get hotter.

Pycon: Sprint and Panel
by Tarek Ziadé 07 Nov '08

07 Nov '08

Hello I would like to know if people would be interested in some events during Pycon: - a Sprint for packaging+PyPI matters (already submited) - a "packaging" panel during Pycon "release/distribute a Python application today, solutions and problems" For the latter, let me know here or in private if you would like to contribute to that panel a good panel would probably require os packagers and people from these two MLs to be involved. If I have enough people interested I will submit this panel as a proposal for Pycon.

zc.buildout, recipe downloading dev eggs
by Justin Ryan 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

Howdy! I apologize if this isn't the place to ask about buildout, but it is listed as the support address in PyPI. I use zc.buildout, as many Zope / Plone and other Python developers do nowadays to help in deployment of our code. We are abandoning SVN as version control, and for now are using BZR with a shell script to pull externals from SVN. As BZR is a Python DSCM, we want to use it api-wise in a buildout recipe, as an alternative to svn:externals, as BZR's externals-like feature is a bit slow in coming, and also a recipe could support a variety of SCM by URI. My concern is that, of course, buildout expects dev-eggs to be in src/ when its' run, though dev products and other bits can come as dependencies of eggs and via recipes. What I want is to be able to download dev eggs in a recipe, which is applied before the eggs are sought. I'm glad to help, but expect that approaching folks with setuptools and esp buildout expertise, via e-mail, as a group, might be a good start. I'd be glad to help document how to do this and what situations it benefits. Best, and TIA! J -- Robert Half - "When one teaches, two learn."
