=================== Installing PyHesiod =================== To install PyHesiod, you will first need to install Cython_. It's always a good idea to install Cython through your package manager, if possible. If your package manager doesn't have a package for Cython, or if you wish to install Cython by hand anyway, you can do so by running:: $ easy_install Cython Once you've done that, to install PyHesiod globally, run:: $ python setup.py install If you want to build PyHesiod without installing it globally, you may want to run:: $ python setup.py build_ext --inplace which will build the C extensions in place next to their source, allowing you to import the various modules, so long as your current working directory is the root of the PyHesiod source tree. Alternatively, PyHesiod has been packaged for Debian and Ubuntu. To build the Debian package of the latest release, run:: $ git checkout debian $ git buildpackage $ sudo debi You will need the devscripts and git-buildpackage packages installed, as well as this package's build dependencies (cdbs, debhelper, python-all-dev, python-support, python-pyrex, python-setuptools, libhesiod-dev). .. _Cython: http://www.cython.org/
