Howdy all, Ian Bicking, who has been wrestling for some time with Python and packaging issues, has released the tool "pyinstall".
Have you ever been frustrated by easy_install? Yeah, me neither. But I have heard whispers of discontent. So I'm introducing a new tool for the installation of Python packages: pyinstall. pyinstall is mostly easy_install compatible. That means it finds distributions in the same way as easy_install and it installs packages via setuptools. If you are familiar with easy_install you'll know how to use pyinstall right away. This is not a repudiation of the mechanisms of easy_install, but a refinement. What does it refine? […] <URL:http://www.openplans.org/projects/topp-engineering/blog/2008/09/24/pyinstall-a-new-hope/> pyinstall is available in the Cheese Shop <URL:http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyinstall>. I'd be interested to know people's experiences with trying it out for packaging Python distributions for Debian. -- \ “I spent all my money on a FAX machine.
