- mycelium 11y ago+1 I've been doing python for 10 years. I pip install everything. If it's not on pypi it doesn't exist.
- mseri 11y agoAnd possibly move from sourceforge
- shoo 11y agoIt depends upon both SWIG and Gnat (an Ada implementation, apparently), so even if it were pip installable, you'd need to install those two non-python dependencies via another mechanism.
- spoondan 11y agoPlenty of PyPI packages have external dependencies (e.g., anything that uses Cython will require a C compiler). SWIG isn't needed, since it is a source generator, and it's trivial to ship the generated source as part of the release process. GNAT is not commonly installed, but since it's part of GCC, it's packaged for every major OS and distribution. So there's one external dependency that is trivially installed, and many packages have similar requirements.
- stuaxo 11y agoThat's fine. I only use things I can install using on a virtualenv using pip. For personal projects I'll use workarounds to make things not on pypi work, but don't trust it enough to for work projects.
- enalicho 11y agoTake a look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/snopy/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/snopy/. The project hasn't been updated for 3 years, and the files haven't been updated since 2002. I'm not sure that the dev is particularly active any more.
- stuaxo 11y agoI've been contacting a lot of older Python graphics projects recently and you would be surprised how many people will do updates (particularly when you supply a patch). This isn't something I need right now, so you t won't be me this time.
