Getting Started with pyControl v2: Installing on Ubuntu Desktop
It's true--pyControl v2 is officially out the door! Here are the installation instructions for Ubuntu Desktop.
REQUIRED PACKAGES
1. Python 2.4/2.5/2.6 (Use 32-bit version)
2. Python Setup Tools for your python version
3. Python SUDS soap library
Ubuntu 9.x Desktop Installation
1. Python 2.6.4 ships with Ubuntu, so no need to install.
2. Install remaining packages (assuming setuptools, suds, & pycontrol packages are in /var/tmp/):
#SETUPTOOLS
cd /var/tmp/
tar xvfz setuptools-0.6c11.tar.gz
cd setuptools-0.6c11
sudo python setup.py install#SUDS
cd /var/tmp/
tar xvfz python-suds-0.3.8.tar.gz
cd python-suds-0.3.8
sudo python setup.py install#PYCONTROL
tar xvfz pycontrol-2.0a.tar.gz
cd trunk
sudo python setup.py install3. Verify Install
>>> import suds
>>> import pycontrol.pycontrol as pc
>>> suds.__version__
'0.3.8'
>>> suds.__build__
'(beta) R618-20091204'
>>> pc.__version__
