This release includes a new packaging tool by activestate called Python
Package Manager (PyPM).
Is PyPM available separately?
No, PyPM comes only with ActivePython (just like PPM does with ActivePerl).
Here's a sample command line output::
$ pypm install lxml
Where does this get lxml from?
From the binary repository:
$ pypm -vv install lxml
[...]
Downloading
http://pypm.activestate.com/root/2.6/macosx/pool/l/lx/lxml-2.2.2_macosx_2.6_2.pypm
How can I control that?
$site-packages/pypm/client/client.conf OR the -L option
Where does this put the package on disk?
"PyPM follows the PEP 370 specification and installs packages by default
in ~/.local on Unix and Mac and %APPDATA%\Python on Windows;"
http://docs.activestate.com/activepython/2.6/pypm.html#installing-packages
$ pypm files lxml
[...]
/Users/sridharr/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/lxml/objectify.so
/Users/sridharr/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/lxml/pyclasslookup
[...]
How can I have separate package requirements for different python
projects on the same box?
Hmm, I don't understand this question.
How can I specify the version of lxml required?
It is currently not possible (not exposed as command line argument), but
should be implemented in subsequent releases.
How can I reproduce the environment required for a particular project?
If by that you mean something like 'pip bundle', this is currently not
available. Please open a ticket at
