I must say I am quite disappointed with the complexities involved in setting up 3rd party packages within a python environment. I have been looking into automating some tasks using python/ssh via paramiko. I tried using 'easy_install' to download it and it looks like that wasn't even installed with the basic python install. Perhaps I have to download this other package called 'setuptools' first - not sure.
Anyways, I pretty much gave up and found 2 java libs, one of which I was able to get up & running from within jython in 5 mins. what's the story with python's package management these days? easy_install, setuptools, etc .. what are they and how are they supposed to be used? If devs can't figure this morass out, how are users supposed to? -- Nimret Sandhu http://www.nimret.com http://www.nimsoft.biz
