prerequisite reference description

Download PyPI https://pypi.python.org/pypi/namedtupledefs2

Sourceforge https://sourceforge.net/projects/namedtupledefs2/

github.com https://github.com/ArnoCan/namedtupledefs2/

Documents sourceforge https://namedtupledefs2.sourceforge.io/

6.3. Install from PyPI.org¶

Install from PyPI.org by calling:

pip install namedtupledefs2

Once installed any supported implementation will work.

The runtime package is distinct from the source package, which is also called the SDK - Sofware Developemnt Kit. The prerequisites of both are frequently slightly different. For the SDK and the installation from sources including offline-installation see following sections.

6.5. Install Procedures for Sources¶

The installation process itself is verified for CPython, it requires the setuptools package and will than work with others too.

From source:

python setup.py install

Once installed any supported implementation will work.

The runtime package is distinct from the source package, which is also called the SDK - Sofware Developemnt Kit. The prerequisites of both are frequently slightly different.

environment description

Runtime
Standard procedure online local install e.g. into virtual environment:

python setup.py install

Standard procedure online local install into user home:

python setup.py install –user

Custom procedure offline by:

python setup.py install –user –offline

SDK
Required for document creation, add ‘–sdk’ option, checks build tools:

python setup.py install –sdk

Creation of documents, requires Sphinx including ‘sphinx-apidoc’, and Epydoc:

python setup.py build_doc install_project_doc install_doc

Compilation of Java modules for Jython, see help for suboptions. The package contains the compiled standard class files, this call could be used for alternative JRE.

python setup.py build_java

6.6. Tested Platforms¶

Some default installations, e.g. PyPy on OpenBSD6.3 do not work from the box, but perfectly when a specific virtual environment is created. Thus the number of actual tests is even larger. You may adapt it appropriately - or with some professional support from the author.
