I just got Python 2.4 setup locally (Mac OS X) and am trying to extend it by installing both the markdown and smartypants plugins. Ultimately I'd like to be able use both in a custom CMS I'm building with Django.
Installing markdown was a snap by following the instructions at http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/python-markdown/, but I cannot figure out what to do for smartypants. I have found: http://web.chad.org/projects/smartypants.py/, but cannot make any sense of it. After reading Jeff Croft's wonderful site, I know it's possible - and when I asked him in one of his posts he gave me the following response: > As for SmartyPants -- there is a Python port. I've found it to be not quite > as perfect as the original >Perl version, but it basically works. Just > Google for it. You'd install it the same way (drop >smartypants.py in your > Python path). Does anyone know what port he's talking about? Is it the smartypants.py file referenced above? And if so, any quick tips for a clueless UNIX user on how to drop smartypants.py in my Python path? Many thanks in advance! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
