Hi all, do you all know about virtualenv? Basically, it lets you create your own isolated Python environment within which to play, install, etc.
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv Use it like so (from bash): % virtualenv /some/path % . /some/path/bin/activate now, everything Pythonic you install will be placed in /some/path and accessible to you as usual (cmd-line execution, and/or import). To exit this environment, just do 'deactivate'. For example, % virtualenv /tmp/foo % . /tmp/foo/bin/activate % cd /pygr/dev/dir % python setup.py install You will now be able to run your latest dev version of pygr, isolated from other pygr installs and Python environments. This is a great way to depend on specific & personal versions of Python, pygr, etc, without having to muck around with system-level stuff. cheers, --titus -- C.
