I gave it a test run on Linux. According to the output, it installed resources/pylons, and then downloaded all the dependencies. The virtualenv has everything installed in the easy_install manner (i.e., .egg directories). It looks like a good start. Four comments: - I would rename resources/pylons to resources/Pylons so that it's clear it's a source directory and not a package or a preinstalled package. I had to guess from the contents what it was. - Virtualenv is going to automatically install pip soon, so I would do a pip-based install. For now you can put pip in resouces, easy_install it, and then pip install the rest. That would eliminate most of the entries in easy-install.pth. (One problem is that pip doesn't install from source directories without the -e option. I don't know why that is.) - Is there some advantage to putting the source directories in resources/ unpacked rather than just copying the tarballs from http://pylonshq.com/download ? Since easy_install/pip know how to unpack them, I'm not sure if the slight added efficiency is worth it. - Is there a way to call easy_install without using subprocess? I'm always leery of scripts that call subprocesses, since they can break if the path or environment isn't what's expected. But that may be an advanced issue to deal with later. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
