The possibilities are limitless, but here are a couple examples of what you can do with environments: - Install any non-Python software package you need via apt-get or make. - Install any Python module that we do not automatically extract from your machines, which are typically those that require compilation or depend on external libraries. Piqued your interest? Then jump straight to our blog post explaining how to use this feature<http://blog.picloud.com/2011/09/26/introducing-environments-run-anything-on-picloud/> . *Here's a peek at the interface:* *1. You create a new Environment* We give you a temporary Ubuntu Linux server to SSH into and configure however you please. $ ssh -i privatekey.pem se...@ec2-w-x-y-z.compute-1.amazonaws.com $ apt-get install anything # use any repository $ ./configure; make; make install # install from source *2. Save your Environment* *3. Use your Environment by specifying the _env keyword* cloud.call(your_func, _env='your_env_name') That's all it takes to start using non-Python dependencies on PiCloud!
