=============================== Installing and Using Setuptools =============================== .. contents:: **Table of Contents** ------------------------- Installation Instructions ------------------------- Upgrading from Distribute ========================= Currently, Distribute disallows installing Setuptools 0.7+ over Distribute. You must first uninstall any active version of Distribute first (see `Uninstalling`_). Upgrading from Setuptools 0.6 ============================= Upgrading from prior versions of Setuptools is supported. Initial reports good success in this regard. Windows ======= The recommended way to install setuptools on Windows is to download `ez_setup.py`_ and run it. The script will download the appropriate .egg file and install it for you. .. _ez_setup.py: https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py For best results, uninstall previous versions FIRST (see `Uninstalling`_). Once installation is complete, you will find an ``easy_install.exe`` program in your Python ``Scripts`` subdirectory. For simple invocation and best results, add this directory to your ``PATH`` environment variable, if it is not already present. Unix-based Systems including Mac OS X ===================================== Download `ez_setup.py`_ and run it using the target Python version. The script will download the appropriate version and install it for you:: > wget https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py -O - | python Note that you will may need to invoke the command with superuser privileges to install to the system Python. Alternatively, on Python 2.6 and later, Setuptools may be installed to a user-local path:: > wget https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py > python ez_setup.py --user Advanced Installation ===================== For more advanced installation options, such as installing to custom locations or prefixes, download and extract the source tarball from `Setuptools on PyPI <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools>`_ and run setup.py with any supported distutils and Setuptools options. For example:: setuptools-x.x$ python setup.py --prefix=/opt/setuptools Use ``--help`` to get a full options list, but we recommend consulting the `EasyInstall manual`_ for detailed instructions, especially `the section on custom installation locations`_. .. _EasyInstall manual: https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/EasyInstall .. _the section on custom installation locations: https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/EasyInstall#custom-installation-locations Downloads ========= All setuptools downloads can be found at `the project's home page in the Python Package Index`_. Scroll to the very bottom of the page to find the links. .. _the project's home page in the Python Package Index: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools In addition to the PyPI downloads, the development version of ``setuptools`` is available from the `Bitbucket repo`_, and in-development versions of the `0.6 branch`_ are available as well. .. _Bitbucket repo: https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/get/default.tar.gz#egg=setuptools-dev .. _0.6 branch: http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/branches/setuptools-0.6/#egg=setuptools-dev06 Uninstalling ============ On Windows, if Setuptools was installed using an ``.exe`` or ``.msi`` installer, simply use the uninstall feature of "Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel. Otherwise, to uninstall Setuptools or Distribute, regardless of the Python version, delete all ``setuptools*`` and ``distribute*`` files and directories from your system's ``site-packages`` directory (and any other ``sys.path`` directories) FIRST. If you are upgrading or otherwise plan to re-install Setuptools or Distribute, nothing further needs to be done. If you want to completely remove Setuptools, you may also want to remove the 'easy_install' and 'easy_install-x.x' scripts and associated executables installed to the Python scripts directory. -------------------------------- Using Setuptools and EasyInstall -------------------------------- Here are some of the available manuals, tutorials, and other resources for learning about Setuptools, Python Eggs, and EasyInstall: * `The EasyInstall user's guide and reference manual`_ * `The setuptools Developer's Guide`_ * `The pkg_resources API reference`_ * `Package Compatibility Notes`_ (user-maintained) * `The Internal Structure of Python Eggs`_ Questions, comments, and bug reports should be directed to the `distutils-sig mailing list`_. If you have written (or know of) any tutorials, documentation, plug-ins, or other resources for setuptools users, please let us know about them there, so this reference list can be updated. If you have working, *tested* patches to correct problems or add features, you may submit them to the `setuptools bug tracker`_. .. _setuptools bug tracker: https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issues .. _Package Compatibility Notes: https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/PackageNotes .. _The Internal Structure of Python Eggs: https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/formats.html .. _The setuptools Developer's Guide: https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html .. _The pkg_resources API reference: https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/pkg_resources.html .. _The EasyInstall user's guide and reference manual: https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/easy_install.html .. _distutils-sig mailing list: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/ ------- Credits ------- * The original design for the ``.egg`` format and the ``pkg_resources`` API was co-created by Phillip Eby and Bob Ippolito. Bob also implemented the first version of ``pkg_resources``, and supplied the OS X operating system version compatibility algorithm. * Ian Bicking implemented many early "creature comfort" features of easy_install, including support for downloading via Sourceforge and Subversion repositories. Ian's comments on the Web-SIG about WSGI application deployment also inspired the concept of "entry points" in eggs, and he has given talks at PyCon and elsewhere to inform and educate the community about eggs and setuptools. * Jim Fulton contributed time and effort to build automated tests of various aspects of ``easy_install``, and supplied the doctests for the command-line ``.exe`` wrappers on Windows. * Phillip J. Eby is the seminal author of setuptools, and first proposed the idea of an importable binary distribution format for Python application plug-ins. * Significant parts of the implementation of setuptools were funded by the Open Source Applications Foundation, to provide a plug-in infrastructure for the Chandler PIM application. In addition, many OSAF staffers (such as Mike "Code Bear" Taylor) contributed their time and stress as guinea pigs for the use of eggs and setuptools, even before eggs were "cool". (Thanks, guys!) * Since the merge with Distribute, Jason R. Coombs is the maintainer of setuptools. The project is maintained in coordination with the Python Packaging Authority (PyPA) and the larger Python community. .. _files:
