Re: [Tauruslib-users] install through pip

[Vincent H. <vin...@ma...>]

Hi Yngve,

Not a direct answer to your question but it can help.
We have just set up our RPM repositories open for Internet. This includes all the packages for taurus, pytango, … for CentOS 7.
http://pubrepo.maxiv.lu.se/rpm/el7/

This set up is still in testing mode but any feed back will be welcome.

Cheers,
Vincent

Hi all,

I wanted to install taurus for testing on my machine (CentOS 7). I noticed in your install instructions that you recommend to download the tarball from pip, so then I thought, 'why not just use pip instead?'

That does not seem to work initially though:

$ pip install taurus
Collecting taurus
 Using cached taurus-3.6.0.tar.gz
Installing collected packages: taurus
 Running setup.py install for taurus
   Complete output from command /usr/bin/python -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-zLtyIO/taurus/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-4hH39k-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile:
   usage: -c [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
      or: -c --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
      or: -c --help-commands
      or: -c cmd --help

   error: option --single-version-externally-managed not recognized

   ----------------------------------------
Command "/usr/bin/python -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-zLtyIO/taurus/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-4hH39k-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-zLtyIO/taurus



I am not sure where 'single-version-externally-managed' option comes from, probably someone more clever than me can explain. In any case, after a bit of searching online I found a recommendation to add the '--egg' option to pip. That worked very well:

$ pip install taurus --egg --user
Collecting taurus
 Using cached taurus-3.6.0.tar.gz
Installing collected packages: taurus
 Running setup.py install for taurus
Successfully installed taurus-3.6.0

(I added the --user as well to only install for my user account without sudo)


Same is true for PyTango by the way. I would consider to maybe add this as (an alternative) installation instruction in the documentation.

Cheers,
Yngve
