===========================================================
Self-contained IPython installation with all dependencies
===========================================================
This is a self-contained source distribution of IPython with all its
*non-graphical* dependencies, that installs in a single ``make`` call to your
home directory (by default) or any location of your choice.
This distribution is meant for developer-type usage in Unix environments, it is
*not* an easy way to get IPython working on Windows, since it assumes the
presence of a working compiler and development tools.
Currently, the distribution contains::
ipython-0.9.1.tar.gz
pyOpenSSL-0.6.tar.gz
zope.interface-3.4.1.tar.gz
Twisted-8.1.0.tar.bz2
foolscap-0.3.1.tar.gz
nose-0.10.3.tar.gz
Usage
=====
Download the single tarball where this README file lives and unpack it. If
your system is already configured as described below, these lines will do the
whole job::
wget http://ipython.scipy.org/dist/alldeps/ipython-alldeps-0.9.1.tar
tar xf ipython-alldeps-0.9.1.tar
cd ipython-alldeps-0.9.1
make
If all goes well, then just type::
iptest
to run IPython's test suite.
It is meant to be used in an environment where you have your ``$PATH``,
``$PYTHONPATH``, etc variables properly configured, so that the installation of
packages can be made with (using ``~/usr/local`` as an example)::
python setup.py install --prefix=~/usr/local
For an explanation of how to do this, see below.
You can configure the default prefix used by editing the file
``pkginstall.cfg``, where you can also override the python version used for the
process. If your system is configured in this manner, you can simply type::
make
and this will build and install all of IPython's non-graphical dependencies on
your system, assuming you have Python, a compiler, the Python headers and the
SSL headers available.

Environment configuration
=========================
Below is an example of what to put in your ``~/.bashrc`` file to configure your
environment as described in this document, in a reasonably portable manner that
takes 64-bit operating systems into account::
# For processor dependent config
MACHINE=$(uname -m)
# Python version information
PYVER=$(python -ESV 2>&1)
PYVER_MINOR=${PYVER#Python }
PYVER_MAJOR=${PYVER_MINOR:0:3}
function export_paths {
# Export useful paths based on a common prefix
# Input: a path prefix
local prefix=$1
local pp
local lp
local pypath=python${PYVER_MAJOR}/site-packages
# Compute paths with 64-bit specifics
if [[ $MACHINE == "x86_64" ]]; then
lp=$prefix/lib64:$prefix/lib
pp=$prefix/lib64/$pypath:$prefix/lib/$pypath
else
lp=$prefix/lib
pp=$prefix/lib/$pypath
fi
# Set paths based on given prefix
export PATH=$prefix/bin:$PATH
export CPATH=$prefix/include:$CPATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$lp:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LIBRARY_PATH=$lp:$LIBRARY_PATH
export PYTHONPATH=$pp:$PYTHONPATH
}
# Actually call the export function to set the paths. If you want more than
# one such prefix, note that the call *prepends* the new prefix to the
# existing paths, so later calls take priority.
