You can achieve what WebFaction does to make such things easy without too much difficulty on other hosts, providing they provide Python to start with. I'm not sure exactly how it's done, but easy_install there installs packages to ~/lib/pythonX.X and scripts to ~/bin. You can easily override these on any server which does not do such a thing with easy_install -d ~/lib/pythonX.X -s ~/bin. Then you can add the paths you've installed to in the WSGI configuration, or the mod_python configuration, or a startup script, or something like that. Also if you use virtualenv (recommended), you can use pip with the -E virtualenv-path option.
I wouldn't be surprised if this company already had easy_install configured properly - they seem to know something about dealing with Python (which is a deal better than most hosting companies). You could just try it - if it's not, it'll just fail to install due to permissions problems. -- Chris Morgan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Satchmo users" group.
