What’s the best way to download a python package and it’s dependencies from pypi for offline installation on another machine? Is there any easy way to do this with pip or easy_install? I’m trying to install the requests library on a FreeBSD box that is not connected to the internet.
A tweet reads:
I’m a bit miffed by the python package installation process. Specifically, what’s the difference between packages installed in the dist-packages directory and the site-packages directory?
I use this command in the shell to install PIL:
I have managed to get spyder installed and functioning on my mac but I want to add in a few modules that it doesn’t include by default (mahotas and pymorph).
Python’s easy_install makes installing new packages extremely convenient. However, as far as I can tell, it doesn’t implement the other common features of a dependency manager – listing and removing installed packages.
I know that I can install Jython with Java and that I can use Jython where I use Python. The Jython shell is working fine.
When I install PIL using easy_install or buildout it installs in such way, that I must do ‘import Image’, not ‘from PIL import Image’.
I already have MSVC++ 2010 Express installed, and my vcvarsall.bat file is at C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 10.0VC, which is in my system PATH. When I run easy_install, it can’t find vcvarsall.bat.
When I try to run app.py (Python 3.3, PyCrypto 2.6) my virtualenv keeps returning the error listed above. My import statement is just from Crypto.Cipher import AES. I looked for duplicates and you might say that there are some, but I tried the solutions (although most are not even solutions) and nothing worked.
