python linux distro
Hy guys last night i was lying in my bed and thinking about something. is there any linux distro that is primary oriented to python. you know what i mean. no need for php, java, or something like this. pure python and containig all the funky modules like scipy, numpy, boaconstructor (wx of course). something like the python enthought edition, but all this on a distro included. maybe psql but persistant predered, zope of course. everything a developer is ever going to need. So i stood up, sat down on my ugly acer notebook with a python stiker on it and made a huge list of cool modles i would prefer. I would like to make such a distro but i am not a linux pro. so this is going to stay just a idea. i thouht it should be realy user fredly like sabayon or ubuntu (without xgel). if this were a live distro it would be amazing. I know, dont expet someone else to do your work, but is there anyone who likes the idea and has the knowledge i dont have. I also know for quantian (cool distro), but for me, there is too much other crap and not enough python. i even got the nam of it. maybee not the best but it fits the context.

Re: python linux distro
Hi, the world doesn't need another Linux distro, there are too many already... ( 100) I believe it's a better idea to spend your time contributing to an existing distro (e.g. http://www.ubuntu.com/developers/bounties) doing Python related stuff. Besides that, all distros I know of (4) already have a lot of Python packages ready for download. regards, Dimitri On 8 Feb 2007 06:44:22 -0800, azrael [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hy guys last night i was lying in my bed and thinking about something. is there any linux distro that is primary oriented to python. you know what i mean. no need for php, java, or something like this. pure python and containig all the funky modules like scipy, numpy, boaconstructor (wx of course). something like the python enthought edition, but all this on a distro included. maybe psql but persistant predered, zope of course. everything a developer is ever going to need.

On debian base distributions you can create a task. A task list all packages you need. You could make a task all-python-stuff. But I don't think many people will use it. I use Python daily, but at the moment I never use Zope, scipy or twisted. Ubuntu is a very python friendly environment.

As of this week, DistroWatch reports having 528 in their database. Check out DistroWatch.com for details. To the original poster: You may not be a Linux expert, but if you feel like reading some documentation, you can easily remaster a live CD such as Knoppix or DSL (Damn Small Linux). Just to to the distro's site and check out the documentation. This won't be the creation of a brand-new distro -- it's the same thing as changing the wallpaper and creating your custom re-master just for yourself. Both distros I mentioned (and many others, I'm sure) have a simple, built-in tool for installing additional packages. Do that, then make your re-image from your running live version.

Re: python linux distro
thanks guys when i wrote this, i thought that out there is some crazy guy like me. i was hoping for more support but after these arguments, there is nothing more then to say:you are right. the world doesnt need another distro. but if one day I mange to do it, hope you will be glade that i post the lik here. i will look out (if i mange to do it) to use the slax distro and just add some packages. thnx On Feb 8, 5:56 pm, Steve Holden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: azrael wrote: Hy guys last night i was lying in my bed and thinking about something. is there any linux distro that is primary oriented to python. you know what i mean. no need for php, java, or something like this. pure python and containig all the funky modules like scipy, numpy, boaconstructor (wx of course). something like the python enthought edition, but all this on a distro included. maybe psql but persistant predered, zope of course. everything a developer is ever going to need.

Re: python linux distro
Hiya, last night i was lying in my bed and thinking about something. is there any linux distro that is primary oriented to python. Well, it's a general purpose distro, but Gentoo (www.gentoo.org) relies on Python as it's package management system is written in Python Bash. most python things I use are available, but scipy is masked at the moment (this means that there is a problem with the package - you can normally use masked packages, but at your own risk ;). Also, it should be noted that unlike most other distro's, Gentoo is a source distro: the package system downloads and builds for your system and so you can set global preferences, such as the optimisation level or processor support. It just takes a few CPU more cycles to upgrade things. HTH, John McCallum -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
