For yet another option, if you are a zc.buildout user[1], and include
a python interpreter 'part' (the sample below provides `bin/py`), I
found simply adding 'bpython' to the eggs will generate the `bin/
bpython` script, with the same pre configured sys.path, providing easy
interaction with just your project code and any build dependencies.
Minimal buildout configuration sample [buildout.cfg] for 'my_project':
{{{
[buildout]
develop = .
parts = python
[python]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
interpreter = py
eggs = bpython
my_project
}}}
Thanks for the bpython recommendation, a very welcome enhancement!

If you're using Ubuntu 10.10, the "python-setuptools" is Distribute,

also recent versions -- I don't have to install them manually anymore.

Strongly agree. Only use easy_install to install pip and forget it

Or just use Pete's plan :-)

Dunno what's up with your particular install - I moved from
macports to
fink about a year ago...

While we're on the subject of shells, IPython fans might like
bpython. Autocompletion, highlighting, inline help (docstring
display), logging... and that's more or less it. Much simpler
than IPython (which does a *lot* of other things, including
distributed computing).

Bpython: It's the shell I always wished IPython would be.
Pete - thanks for this link - you'll never know the journey you
enabled
:-)
Got the latest macports for macosx from http://www.macports.org/
Upgraded to python3.1 ( learning a bit about the changes between
python2.7 and 3.1 )
Investigated system tools "otool -L", "dtrace", Learned about
Pygments (
syntax highlighting package written in Python )
Got so much useful information from Wikipedia that I send in a
contribution of gratitude ...
Downloaded and installed Colloguy where I found the helpful folks
on
#bpython on irc.freenode.net <http://irc.freenode.net/>
Learned about and started using pastebin for the first time (
http://bpaste.net/ ) ( found useful information on "Easy Install"
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall and Python
Eggs
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PythonEggs )
But if anyone has some ideas why bpython doesn't install itself
(or a
link) in a place
where it can be found in a reasonable path like python does - I'd
sure
like to know.
