egg

I have python .egg files that are stored in a relative location to some .py code. The problem is, I am targeting python 2.5.1 computers which require my project be self contained in a folder (hundreds of thousands of OLPC XO 8.2.1 release laptops running Sugar). This means I cannot just ./ez_install to perform a system-wide setuptools/pkg_resources installation. Example directory structure: My Application/ My Application/library1.egg My Application/libs/library2.egg My Application/test.py I am wondering how best to import and use library1 and library2 from within test.py with no pkg_resources

Where is the current reference for packaging python modules with Python 2.x? http://guide.python-distribute.org/ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Packaging (last update from july 2010) http://docs.python.org/2.7/distutils/index.html distutils: Distributing Python Modules https://python-packaging-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ Python Packaging User Guide (fork of hitchhiker guide, alive) I found the above versions. Which one should I follow? My modules are simple. Some Python files, some Python scripts and some templates (django). borntyping The setuptools documentation is (probably) the

I want to use matplotlib.pyplot. I can't because altoidnerd@LEPTON:~/ $ pip install matplotlib is failing on ubuntu 14 giving an egg_info error, and warning "cannot build package freetype" * The following required packages can not be built: * freetype ---------------------------------------- Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-8UvQcW/matplotlib But altoidnerd@LEPTON:~/$ dpkg -L libfreetype6 /. /usr /usr/lib /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so.6.11.1 /usr/share /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/libfreetype6 /usr/share/doc

I'm quite new to Python. I've downloaded the Pyramid Framework and have been trying to understand it. It uses many separate tools for its work. For example some PasteDeploy . I tried to read PasteDeploy 's manual but can't understand anything. There is almost no valuable examples and explanation. Just syntax. All I understood is that it uses .egg format everywhere. It is based on .egg format: [composite:main] use = egg:Paste#urlmap [app:home] use = egg:Paste#static [app:blogapp] use = egg:BlogApp At the same time I found that .egg format is going to be thrown away from Python's package's

Are there any disadvantages about using eggs through easy-install compared to the "traditional" packages/modules/libs? One (potential) disadvantage is that eggs are zipped by default unless zip_safe=False is set in their setup() function in setup.py . If an egg is zipped, you can't get at the files in it (without unzipping it, obviously). If the module itself uses non-source files (such as templates) it will probably specify zip_safe=False , but another consequence is that you cannot effectively step into zipped modules using pdb , the Python debugger. That is, you can, but you won't be able

I need to develop a script utilizing computer vision that will: Scan all frames of an Flash/HTML5 video for people's faces Identify the video frames that shows the faces looking directly at the camera Crop the face in a perfect square Copy the cropped face to a .PNG file Any recommendations for a Python computer vision library that could help me develop this script? jilles de wit As jonesy said opencv is your best bet for facedetection "out of the box". To use flash video as imput you'd need something that will allow you to read .flv (flash video) files that you can connect to opencv. I haven
