installation info in a nutshell

PyPI name: py

Pythons: 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.0, 3.1.x, Jython-2.5.1, PyPy-1.3

Operating systems: Linux, Windows, OSX, Unix

Requirements: setuptools or Distribute

easy install or pip py

Both Distribute and setuptools provide the easy_install installation tool with which you can type into a command line window:

easy_install -U py

to install the latest release of the py lib. The -U switch will trigger an upgrade if you already have an older version installed.

Note

As of version 1.4 py does not contain py.test anymore - you need to install the new `pytest`_ distribution.

Working from version control or a tarball

To follow development or start experiments, checkout the complete code and documentation source with mercurial:

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/py

Development takes place on the ‘trunk’ branch.

You can also go to the python package index and download and unpack a TAR file:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/py/

activating a checkout with setuptools

With a working Distribute or setuptools installation you can type:

python setup.py develop

in order to work inline with the tools and the lib of your checkout.
