This is really cool, John!  

Do you think that we'll ever be modular enough to have this upload a daily build to the main pip repositories so that one can just `pip install yt` without downloading the build file?  Or is that too complicated because it requires all of the external libraries that it does?


pypi is only for stable releases.

In principle we could make "pip install yt" grab all of yt's dependencies if they are not installed via the install_requires and setup_requires arguments provided by setuptools, but that's separate from John's work on nightly builds.

In practice, the last time I tried to get install_requires working there were issues with our use of numpy.distutils that made it not work correctly.  This is probably worth looking into again.
 
Great work!

Does this mean we can download one of these files and "pip install yt" to get the latest version of yt with it?

It should, but you have to specify the file, either by downloading it or pointing pip to the URL explicitly, e.g. for Linux:


There are instructions which are simpler and don’t require you to know the full URL on http://binstar.org/jzuhone/yt, but they don’t work for me yet. 

Best,

John
