IDLEfork INSTALL notes
|
|
|
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The emphasis in IDLEfork is now for the project to be able to be run
|
|
|
|
|
directly from the unpacked source directory. This is to enable easy testing
|
|
|
|
|
of (and hacking on) IDLEfork, and will also prevent interfering with the
|
|
|
|
|
stable Python IDLE set up in any way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install IDLEfork just unpack the archive into its own directory wherever
|
|
|
|
|
you like. To run IDLEfork just go to the directory you unpacked IDLEfork
|
|
|
|
|
into and then run 'python idle.py' in an xterm under unix/linux, or
|
|
|
|
|
'idle.pyw' under windows 98/2000. Remember that IDLEfork 0.8.1 and greater
|
|
|
|
|
require python 2.1 or greater.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See README.txt and NEWS.txt for more details on this version of IDLEfork.

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
|
2001-07-19 01:49:13 -03:00
|
|
|
"official" IDLE that may be already installed.
