Re: [Distutils] errors trying to get setuptools 2.0.2
I'm not sure why your powershell is blowing up, but try running
python ez_setup.py --insecure
instead.

The parts in red were in red in my terminal window. I am on windows 8.1 and
I am brand new. Less than a week ago, I installed Distribute because someone
on Django Google Groups recommended it to me, along with virtualenv and pip.
Then today - well, last night since it was a few hours ago - I found out
Distribute is deprecated. So I am trying to follow the uninstall
instructions but this is what I got. Just for kicks I ran it again just now
- same result. Please help. I took time off from work Thursday and Friday to
get all this set up have been at this all weekend only to be stumped again.
And no, I do not have Django up and running yet. Thank you.

[Distutils] Packaging today
Hi Distutils folks, I'm kind of a lurker here, due primarily to the fact that I'm too swamped with various other things to materially contribute to the effort, but I've been lurking for some time hoping to learn enough to avoid troubling anyone with pesky questions. In that respect I've apparently failed, because here comes the question! Background: I'm helping out with a python package: vpython http://vpython.org and I'm also teaching an intro scientific computing class this spring. I'm mostly a Mac/Linux user, but my students are often windows users. I would love to permit my students to use enthought/canopy and/or continuum analytics (C.A.) along with vpython. At the moment we're creating binary releases of vpython for windows and mac and posting them on sourceforge https://sourceforge.net/projects/vpythonwx/. Bruce has been building the windows binary using VC (no setup.py) in a way that's compatible withpython.org python for windows. I've been building the mac version using a setup.py script I cobbled together that works on MacOSX and Linux. I've noticed that the anaconda system that C.A. installs uses MinGW on windows to build extensions. I'd love to figure out how to build vpython under this system so that my windows users could use them together transparently. (BTW is this the same 'anaconda' that has been discussed on this list recently, or is that something different?) I'm pretty sure I could work out how to build vpython with continuum analytics on the mac (which means building boost + wxPython using the C.A. python). Questions: Is there any way, *today*, to incorporate dependencies on external libraries (e.g., boost) in setup.py? (I've noticed the recent conversation about binary dependencies, but from the discussion it seemed to be mostly about the future...) Where should I go to get the 'latest' advise/documentation on distribution for a package that I want to distribute today (rather than pestering you folks)? thanks! -steve (P.S., I tried to send this earlier today, but it appears to have failed.

I think this is a use case that is quite useful for us all to chew on a bit... 1st -- yes Anaconda refers to the distribution from Continuum. Note that conda is the packaging system that Anaconda uses, but it can also be used independently of the distribution.

I'm mostly a Mac/Linux user, but my students are often windows users. I would love to permit my students to use enthought/canopy and/or continuum analytics (C.A.) along with vpython. Either/or?

I've noticed that the anaconda system that C.A. installs uses MinGW on windows to build extensions. I think Canopy does that too -- at least it did a few years ago. but I _think_ you can build extensions with either MinGW or MSVC for the same binary python -- if it's set up right ;-) I'd love to figure out how to build vpython under this system so that my windows users could use them together transparently. You want to take a look at conda: https://github.com/pydata/conda If you can build a conda recipe then you are set to go...

I'm pretty sure I could work out how to build vpython with continuum analytics on the mac (which means building boost + wxPython using the C.A. python). ahh -- you are using wx -- I'd check with the CA folks and see where they are at -- they said they were working on a wxPython packageand I'm sure they'd like help and testing...

Thanks Chris for the detailed reply. On Jan 6, 2014, at 4:55 PM, Chris Barker chris.bar...@noaa.gov wrote: Either/or?

Alternatively, you suggest the python.org builds, and point your users to binaries they can get elsewhere (Chris Gohlke's site for Windows...) Right. My impression is/was that python.org/CA/Canopy were all different builds of python that were *not* interoperable. So that a binary built with one could not generally be expected to work with another. If that's not true, then maybe this is a non-problem. I guess I should just try it and see what happens. At the moment we're creating binary releases of vpython for windows and mac and posting them on sourceforge https://sourceforge.net/projects/vpythonwx/. Are these for the python.org builds? good for you! Yes they are for the python.org builds.

I've been building the mac version using a setup.py script I cobbled together that works on MacOSX and Linux. Why not distutils for building Windows? I find it really helpful. I don't even have a 'real' windows system (only VirtualBox) and I don't have VC Studio, so Bruce has been doing all the windows work (he's got code that creates an installer that's been working for years). My attempt at a setup.py for windows didn't work for him, and I have limited ability to debug it myself. If I could get MinGW to work with my setup.py, maybe I could get things going. I just wanted to get some confirmation that it was a reasonable plan before I wasted a lot of time on what might turn out to be a dead end. Also, I've built wxPython on the mac from source multiple times so that I could turn on debug symbols. Do you think the build-wxpython.py script would work under windows with MinGW? I guess that's probably kind of a naive hope. ;-) I've noticed that the anaconda system that C.A. installs uses MinGW on windows to build extensions. I think Canopy does that too -- at least it did a few years ago. but I _think_ you can build extensions with either MinGW or MSVC for the same binary python -- if it's set up right ;-) As before, maybe this is a non-problem that I should just try it. That'll be step 1. ;-) I'd love to figure out how to build vpython under this system so that my windows users could use them together transparently.

Is there any way, *today*, to incorporate dependencies on external libraries (e.g., boost) in setup.py? no -- except by hand with custom code. I'm still a little unclear on your goals here. Well I guess I am too. I was impressed with CAs ability to use 'pip' on windows to install plotly right away. It's almost like working in unix. I liked that! It would be a dream if a student, after installing the CA distribution could type: /anaconda/bin/pip install vpython and it would just work. I understand that's impossible at the moment. But if I could create instructions and/or build a set of binary files a student could easily install that would give them: 1) vpython 2) matplotlib 3) ipython 4) scipy I'd be ecstatic. I'll also check Chris Gohlke's site. Maybe I don't need all the bells and whistles of Canopy/CA etc. If you want to simple be able to tell your students to use Anaconda then look into conda and the CA help lists -- and conda is more or less designed to solve these sorts of problems. also, the odds are good that Anaconda already has boost, and if not someone has done a conda recipe for it: https://github.com/faircloth-lab/conda-recipes/tree/master/boost If you want your users to be able to use any of: Anaconda Python.org python Canopy Then I'd look into building binary wheels, and see if you can get them to work with Anaconda and Canopy.
