- ============================
- Installation of processing
- ============================
- Versions earlier than Python 2.4 are not supported. If you are using
- Python 2.4 then you should install the `ctypes` package (which comes
- automatically with Python 2.5).
- Windows binary builds for Python 2.4 and Python 2.5 are available at
- http://pyprocessing.berlios.de
- or
- http://pypi.python.org/pypi/processing
- Otherwise, if you have the correct C compiler setup then the source
- distribution can be installed the usual way::
- python setup.py install
- It should not be necessary to do any editing of `setup.py` if you are
- using Windows, Mac OS X or Linux. On other unices it may be necessary
- to modify the values of the `macros` dictionary or `libraries` list.
- The section to modify reads ::
- else:
- macros = dict(
- HAVE_SEM_OPEN=1,
- HAVE_SEM_TIMEDWAIT=1,
- HAVE_FD_TRANSFER=1
- )
- libraries = ['rt']
- More details can be found in the comments in `setup.py`.
- Note that if you use `HAVE_SEM_OPEN=0` then support for posix
- semaphores will not been compiled in, and then many of the functions
- in the `processing` namespace like `Lock()`, `Queue()` or will not be
- available. However, one can still create a manager using `manager =
- processing.Manager()` and then do `lock = manager.Lock()` etc.
- Running tests
- -------------
- To run the test scripts using Python 2.5 do ::
- python -m processing.tests
- and on Python 2.4 do ::
- python -c "from processing.tests import main; main()"
- This will run a number of test scripts using both processes and threads.
