setup.py

I've been using python for a while but I can't remember how I used to install modules, I haven't needed to in forever. I recently reinstalled ubuntu so now I need to. Firstly, I try to run setup.py and get this: nicholas@nicholas-K53E:~$ python setup.py install python: can't open file 'setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory I tried using synaptic to install BeautifulSoup but it didn't work either and python tells me there's no modules named that. Some forums said that it had to do with being in the wrong working directory so I cd'd into my Python26 folder and tried to run python .

I have a python module fully implemented in python. (For portability reasons.) The implementation of a small part has been duplicated in a cython module. To improve perfomance where possible. I know how to install the .c modules created by cython with distutils . However if a machine has no compiler installed, I suspect the setup will fail even though the module is still usable in pure python mode. Is there a way to compile the .c module if possible but fail gracefully and install without it if compiling is not possible? I guess you will have to make some modification both in your setup.py and

In my setup.py I have a dependency for numpy (in install_requires ). Is it possible to instrument the setup function to use wheel packages rather then source ones and not compile the whole numpy? Note: When I do pip install numpy it downloads the binary package of numpy. However python setup.py install gets the source package. The wheel package was introduced with the purpose of fixing the problems with source distributions that were used by setuptools . Although setuptools had their own Egg format for built distributions that predated wheel by 8 years, wheel is currently considered the

I'm developing a Python application and in the process of branching off a release. I've got a PyPI server set up on a company server and I've copied a source distribution of my package onto it. I checked that the package was being hosted on the server and then tried installing it on my local development machine. I ended up with this output: $ pip3 install --trusted-host 172.16.1.92 -i http://172.16.1.92:5001/simple/ <my-package> Collecting <my-package> Downloading http://172.16.1.92:5001/packages/<my-package>-0.2.0.zip Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: Traceback (most

I have a setup.py file that builds an extension. If I change one of the source files, distutils recognizes this and rebuilds the extension, showing all the compile / link commands. However, if the only thing I change is setup.py (I'm fiddling trying to make library dependencies work), then it doesn't seem to rebuild (e.g., none of the compile/link commands show up). I've tested this by removing one of the source files in the line sources = ['foo.c', 'bar.c' ...] and when I pip install -e . or python setup.py install , it still creates a new file for the extension, but it must be a version
