I am attempting to put together a simple package installation replicator to make it easier to pull updates from a local repository (as an alternative setup to a shared NFS directory). The idea is to put a requirements list and the necessary eggs in a local shared directory and then have a script on each computer do a quick check to see if any updates are needed and install them if there is an update. Is it possible to ask setuptools to install a package from within a Python script without resorting to os.system or friends? I tried browsing the source, but it was difficult to follow the call chain from the easy_install script to the actual method being called.
Thanks, Alex _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
