Newbie question : Use of external packages + re-use of other code

by Benedikt.Naessens＠niko.be

I want to make a Windows installer - using distutils - for the Python code I have made so far. Related to this, I have some questions about the "best way" to do this. The project is a test platform that should be used for internal use in our company. What are my problems ? * I am using Nose, PyQt etc. : how do I make sure that these packages are installed with my installer ? The main problem is here that most of the PC's in the company are behind a firewall that not allows them to download these packages from the internet (internet browsers are handled by a remote desktop) * Maybe related to the previous issue : I have written a plugin for Nose; this plugin needs to be "registered" with Nose (manually I do this with easy_install); can I do this also with distutils ? * I am also using SWIG for some code written in C++. I have already read the documentation of distutils where they advise me to build my code with distutils. Problem is that this C++ project is already rather large and that the .pyd is already generated (so I'd rather would not like to declare all my .i and .cpp files in a setup.py file). Do I have to include the generated .pyd, .lib and .py as "package data" into setup.py or are there better ways ? Maybe this sounds trivial to a lot of you, but as I am using Python for 1.5 months, I'd like to have some help from specialists ... Thanks in advance ! Kind regards, Benedikt Naessens.

I'd suggest downloading the source and running "python setup.py bdist_wininst" to make one.

Bootstrapping setuptools for Python 2.6 (Windows)

by Paul Moore

The setuptools download page says that you should install setuptools from the provided .exe file on Windows. However, for Python 2.6, there is only a .egg file. Where should I go to get a Python 2.6 setuptools .exe installer? Thanks, Paul.

bootstrap.py doesn't work offline?

by Chris Withers

Hi All, Is it just me or does buildout's bootstrap.py not work offline, even if the latest versions of buildout and setuptools are available in buildout:egg-directory? cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

Setuptools + buildout for Zope 3?

by Lennart Regebro

Hiya! What are the plans for Python 3 support for setuptools and zc.buildout? I looked through the archives quickly and couldn't see anything. If none, does anybody mind if I have a go at making 3.0 support? In fact, I already had a go this August, as a quick test, so I think I have an idea of what I'm up against. ;-) -- Lennart Regebro: Zope and Plone consulting. http://www.colliberty.com/ +33 661 58 14 64

[issue56] [PATCH] python setup.py test in python2.6

by lregebro

New submission from lregebro <regebro(a)gmail.com>: In Python 2.6, the default of the testRunner parameter when calling unittest.main is no longer None, but is instead TextTestRunner. Calling it with None explicitly says to use None as a test runner, so that will fail, meaning you can't run "python2.6 setup.py test", instead you get a AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'run' in unittest.py line 861. There are two solutions, either set the runner variable to TextTestRunner for versions > 2.5, or not pass in the parameter when it is None. I'm not sure which one is seen as neater, so I'll provide both at patches, version A and B. ---------- messages: 216 nosy: lregebro priority: bug status: unread title: [PATCH] python setup.py test in python2.6 _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker <setuptools(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue56> _______________________________________________

I do have all dependencies met (I am installing everything else via apt) but easy_install does not recognize it and throws a DistributionNotFound: wx>=2.7 *after* installation. >Also note that this line is superfluous (neither distutils nor >setuptools need it): > >> package_dir={'pyspread': 'pyspread'}, I have removed that sucessfully. > And of course, delete the entire block below; as far as I can tell, > it's not needed for distutils or setuptools. > > >import distutils.sysconfig > >try: > > pthfile = open(get_python_lib() + "/pyspread.pth", 'w') > > pthfile.write("pyspread") > > pthfile.close() > >except IOError: > > print 'Creation of ' + distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib() + ' > > pyspread.pth > >failed.' And how do I get the pyspread.pth file created? Best Regards Martin

Are egg files needed when building/installing via --root?

by Brian Cameron

Last October, I sent an email to this list asking how to install modules which use setuputils so that modules are shipped in a way that is compatible with Solaris packaging. It was recommended to me to run "setup.py install" with the "--root=/foo" argument and this causes the files to be installed directly to the filesystem and not in an Egg format. For example, when installing cssutils this way, it installs the python files to /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cssutils, and not in Egg format. This seems to work great, so thanks for the help with that. However, installing this way seems to also install various egg related files which I am not sure are actually needed when delivering in this manner. For example, installing CSSutils or simplejson puts directories with names like these on the filesystem: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cssutils-0.9.5.1-py2.4.egg-info /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/simplejson-2.0.4-py2.4.egg-info These directories contain files like PKG-INFO, SOURCES.txt, dependency_links.txt, entry_points.txt, and top_level.txt. Is there any value in shipping these files when not delivering as Eggs, or could they safely be just removed? Should they not be installed when building with the "--root" option, or is there some other way to disable having them be installed? Thanks, Brian

setuptools/buildout: why only one index server configurable

by Andreas Jung

Hi there, in buildout I can define only one alternative index server using 'index = http://pypi.zopyx.com'. Now we are in the situation where we are running two internal index servers (one for our own internal packages and one PyPI mirror). Is there some reason for this limitation? I assume this is a limitation/feature coming from setuptools? Andreas -- ZOPYX Ltd. & Co.

?t=info

by zooko

Folks: I pointed easy_install at this server: http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/wiki/PackageMirror This is very cool because the files are stored on a secure, decentralized storage grid. (Details on http://allmydata.org , especially http://allmydata.org/~zooko/lafs.pdf .) However, sometimes easy_install issues an HTTP GET request for a file with "?t=info" tacked onto the end. http://pypi.python.org and apache ignore that query arg and just serve up the file, but the tahoe web server just so happens to use ?t=info for something else (the "More Info" links on the directory listing there), so this request fails to serve up the file. My question is: why does easy_install append "?t=info" to the end of those requests?
