pyprofit is a python wrapper for libprofit.
pyprofit is available in PyPI and thus can be easily installed via:
pip install pyprofit
Since version 1.8.1 pre-compiled binary versions of the package are available for Linux distributions. These are offered for convenience and come with OpenMP and FFTW support, but lack features that some users may want to use, like OpenCL, threaded-FFTW and some CPU-specific optimizations.
If you need to compile this package (either because a binary is not available in your platform, or because you want to get the last drop of performance) you will need to compile and install libprofit first. For instruction on how to compile and install libprofit please read libprofit's documentation.
If you need to point to a specific libprofit installation
set the LIBPROFIT_HOME environment variable to point to it,
e.g.:
LIBPROFIT_HOME=/opt/software/libprofit/1.8.0/ pip install pyprofit
If you are experiencing problems with your installation (specially if you are compiling this package) try the following:
DISTUTILS_DEBUG=1 PYPROFIT_NO_MUTE=1 python setup.py -v build
