Hi Alex,
Thanks a lot. Reading the description this sounds to be the right thing. But now I'm stuck installing virtualenv as a user as this seems to be no ubunbtu package: export PYTHONPATH=/opt/newpymod/lib/python2.5/site-packages mkdir -p $PYTHONPATH easy_install --prefix /opt/newpymod install virtualenv > Creating /opt/newpymod/lib/python2.5/site-packages/site.py > Searching for install > Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/install/ > Couldn't find index page for 'install' (maybe misspelled?) > Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while) > Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/ > No local packages or download links found for install > error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('install') So back to question 1 :-( How do I install non Ubuntu python packages in a local directory? alex23 wrote: > On Apr 21, 8:32 am, News123 <news...@free.fr> wrote: >> I'm having an Ubuntu host, but want to (experimentally) >> install some modules, which are newer than the Ubuntu ones >> (distros lag always a little behind and some tools need newer versions.) >> >> What would be a clean way to do this? > > I think virtualenv will help you here: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv > > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
