INSTALLATION from IDLE fork 0.7.1 :
===================================
IDLE Fork Installation on Linux:
Until the tarball is released, you must download a CVS copy. An excellent
place for it is
/usr/local/src/PythonX.X/Tools/idlefork, assuming that's where your Python
source is located. Put the correct version in for X.X .
# cd /usr/local/src/PythonX.X/Tools
Now do the CVS login and checkout:
# cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.idlefork.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/idlefork login
Type an <enter> for the password.
# cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.idlefork.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/idlefork \
-d idlefork checkout idle
The -d option to checkout puts the files in an idlefork directory, so you don't
step on "official" idle.
# cd idlefork
# su to root
# python setup.py install
# echo "idle" > /usr/local/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages.pth
This last is necessary so idle can find itself. I hope we can create/append
this file via setup.py at some point, but it needs to be done manually now, and
it only needs to be done once (unless you totally remove and reinstall python
itself).
# exit from root
NOTE that the above procedure will install idlefork IDLE on top of any
"official" IDLE that may be already installed.
