============================================================================= eGenix mx Base Distribution for Python ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source Installation ------------------- In order to build and install the distribution, run python setup.py install Then change to some other directory and try to import the packages: $ cd ~ $ python Python 2.4.3 (#1, May 9 2007, 00:48:21) [GCC 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from mx.DateTime import now >>> print now() 2007-05-30 11:00:03.24 >>> Note that trying this from the installation directory will cause Python to pick up the source tree packages which do not contain the compiled binaries. This will likely fail with strange error messages. Prebuilt Installation --------------------- If you have downloaded a prebuilt distribution archive, the installation is basically the same as for the source installation, only that setup.py will automatically skip the build process.
