easy-install

Some useful Python packages are broken on pypi, and the only acceptable version is a particular revision in a revision control system. Can that be expressed in setup.py e.g requires = 'svn://example.org/useful.package/trunk@1234' ? You need to do two things. First, require the exact version you want, e.g.: install_requires = "useful.package==1.9dev-r1234" and then include a dependency_links setting specifying where to find it: dependency_links = ["svn://example.org/useful.package/trunk@1234#egg=useful.package-1.9dev-r1234"] Note that the version #egg= part of the dependency_links URL must

I'm trying to audit a Python project with a large number of dependencies and while I can manually look up each project's homepage/license terms, it seems like most OSS packages should already contain the license name and version in their metadata. Unfortunately I can't find any options in pip or easy_install to list more than the package name and installed version (via pip freeze). Does anyone have pointers to a tool to list license metadata for Python packages? You can use pkg_resources : import pkg_resources def get_pkg_license(pkgname): """ Given a package reference (as from requirements

When I try to run app.py (Python 3.3, PyCrypto 2.6) my virtualenv keeps returning the error listed above. My import statement is just from Crypto.Cipher import AES . I looked for duplicates and you might say that there are some, but I tried the solutions (although most are not even solutions) and nothing worked. You can see what the files are like for PyCrypto below: Patrick Jordan I had the same problem (though on Linux). The solution was quite simple - add: libraries: - name: pycrypto version: "2.6" to my app.yaml file. Since this worked correctly in the past, I assume this is a new

Trying to install various packages on a Windows 7 64 bit and learned that ActivePython helps (as it includes easy_install among others). It surely seems pretty robust. However I'm trying to easy_install a few packages and its failing. The problem is that the easy_install.exe actually launches in a new terminal and closes on its own, even when there is a problem, how do I avoid that ? Anyone faced this issue ? Perhaps easy_install is trying to relaunch itself as Administrator in a different window which quits immediately after easy_install exits. Try running easy_install from an Administrator

I am using python 2,7.5 on mac 10.7.5, beautifulsoup 4.2.1. I am going to parse a xml page using the lxml library, as taught in the beautifulsoup tutorial. However, when I run my code, it shows bs4.FeatureNotFound: Couldn't find a tree builder with the features you requested: lxml,xml. Do you need to install a parser library? I am sure that I already installed lxml by all methods: easy_install, pip, port, etc. I tried to add a line to my code to see if lxml is installed or not: import lxml Then python can just successfully go through this code and display the previous error message again,

Does somebody know the logic behind Python modules names vs the name of the actual package used in easy_install? A few (amongst others) example that seem a bit unlogical to me: We do easy_install mysql-python , but the import is in fact import MySQLdb We do easy_install python-memcached , but the import is in fact import memcache (without the trailing d) I didn't find a consistent way of finding the equivalence. For some modules, it took me a lot of browsing to find it. What am I doing wrong? Colonel Panic Regrettably, there's no method to the madness. The name in the package index is
