[Distutils] easy_install from source?

2010-12-03 Thread skip 

I installed the 0.39 version of python-sybase using easy_install -m.  That
worked fine, but that version is extremely old.  Is there a way to use
easy_install with the a checkout from the project's version control system?
I see this in the help output:

  --local-snapshots-ok (-l)  allow building eggs from local checkouts

but how do I specify the location of the local checkout?

Thanks,

Just easy_install /path/to/checkout, assuming there's a 
/path/to/checkout/setup.py. (The -l option only enables the use of 
packages that were locally installed using 'setup.py develop'.)
