Python ====== Enables local Python and local Python package installation. Local Python Installation ------------------------- [pythonz][6] builds and installs multiple Python versions locally in the home directory. This module prepends the pythonz directory to the path variable to enable the execution of `pythonz`. ### Usage Install Python versions with `pythonz install` into *~/.pythonz/pythons*. Local Package Installation -------------------------- Since version 2.6, Python supports per user package installation, as defined in [PEP 370][1]. This module prepends per user site directories to the relevant path variables to enable the execution of user installed scripts and the reading of documentation. ### Usage Install packages into the per user site directory with `easy_install --user` or `pip install --user`. virtualenvwrapper ----------------- [virtualenvwrapper][2] is a frontend to the popular [virtualenv][3] utility. virtualenv creates isolated Python environments and virtualenvwrapper provides convenient shell functions to create, switch, and manage them. ### Usage Install virtualenvwrapper and set [`$WORKON_HOME`][4] to the path where virtual environments will be stored. Aliases ------- - `py` is short for `python`. ### Pythonz - `pyz` is short for `pythonz`. - `pyzc` removes stale source folders and archives. - `pyzi` installs Python versions. - `pyzl` lists installed Python versions. - `pyzL` lists available Python versions. - `pyzu` updates itself to the latest version. - `pyzx` uninstalls Python versions.
