easy-install

How do I stop setup.py from installing a package as an egg? Or even better, how do I easy_install from installing a package as an egg ? sudo python setup.py install The reason being that PyDev is rather picky about packages in egg format... The package I am interested in at the moment is boto . Update: I found the brute force way of doing it: sudo easy_install -m boto cd path/to/boto-xyz.egg sudo mv boto .. sudo rm -rf boto-xyz.egg I feel like I'm missing something subtle or important (encountering this page years after the question was asked and not finding a satisfying answer) however the

I would like to install Python Pandas library (0.8.1) on Mac OS X 10.6.8. This library needs Numpy>=1.6.

I have 3 python versions, I want to easy_install Orange using the second version. How can I do this? Unnecessary info: 2.1 in /usr/bin/python 2.6 in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python 3.1 in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/bin/python Answer: Ok found it here ( http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#multiple-python-versions ), "Also, if you're working with Python version 2.4 or higher, you can run Python with -m easy_install to run that particular Python version's easy_install command" easy_install is usually/always installed per Python

I'm trying to install lxml . I've had a look at the website, and version 2.2.8 looked reasonable to me but when I did easy_install lxml , it installed version 2.3.beta1 which is not really what I want I presume. What is the best way to fix this and how can I force easy_install to install a particular version? (Mac os x 10.6) I believe the way to specify a version would be like this: easy_install lxml==2.2.8 I (and most other Python users I suspect) stopped using easy_install and started using pip some time ago, so a solution in those terms is: easy_install pip pip install lxml==2.2.8 ( pip has

The simplest way to deal with python package installations, so far, to me, has been to check out the source from the source control system and then add a symbolic link in the python dist-packages folder. Clearly since source control provides the complete control to downgrade, upgrade to any branch, tag, it works very well. Is there a way using one of the Package installers (easy_install or pip or other), one can achieve the same. easy_install obtains the tar.gz and install them using the setup.py install which installs in the dist-packages folder in python2.6. Is there a way to configure it,
