easy install

Both Distribute and setuptools provide the easy_install installation tool with which you can type into a command line window:

easy_install -U pylib

to install the latest release of the py lib. The -U switch will trigger an upgrade if you already have an older version installed. Note that setuptools works ok with Python2 interpreters while Distribute additionally works with Python3 and also avoid some issues on Windows.

Working from version control or a tarball

To follow development or start experiments, checkout the complete code and documentation source with mercurial:

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/pylib

Development takes place on the ‘trunk’ branch.

You can also go to the python package index and download and unpack a TAR file:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pylib/

activating a checkout with setuptools

With a working Distribute or setuptools installation you can type:

python setup.py develop

in order to work inline with the tools and the lib of your checkout.
