Requirements ------------ * python >= 2.5 (and < 3.0) [http://www.python.org/download/releases/] Installation (as user) ---------------------- $ ./setup.py install --prefix=~/.local This will install xmppony in your ~/.local directory or in any other directory you want thanks to the --prefix option. This directory must be in sys.path for Python to find the xmppony package. Installation (as root) ---------------------- # ./setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local Default target directory is /usr which should not be used for local installations (i.e. outside your normal package management system). Uninstall --------- Distutils does not let us uninstall yet so you have to remove files manually. :/ Getting help ------------ $ ./setup.py --help
