pythonz is a tool to build Python locally in $HOME, forked from pythonbrew. Unlike pythonbrew it only builds and installs, but doesn't try to manage the default Python version, nor wrap virtualenv and buildout. http://saghul.github.com/pythonz/ |

Python
Enables local Python builds and package installation.
Local Python builds
pythonz builds and installs multiple Python versions locally in the home directory. It supports CPython, Stackless Python, Jython and PyPy.
This module prepends the pythonz directory to the path variable to make
pythonz
available.
Usage
Install Python versions with pythonz install
into into ~/.pythonz/pythons
.
To make these Python versions generally available, add symbolic links to
~/.pythonz/bin
.
Local Package Installation
Since version 2.6, Python supports per user package installation, as defined in PEP 370.
This module prepends per user site directories to the relevant path variables to enable the execution of user installed scripts and the reading of documentation.
Usage
Install packages into the per user site directory with easy_install --user
or
pip install --user
.
virtualenvwrapper
virtualenvwrapper is a frontend to the popular virtualenv utility.
virtualenv creates isolated Python environments and virtualenvwrapper provides convenient shell functions to create, switch, and manage them.
Usage
Install virtualenvwrapper and set $WORKON_HOME
to the path where virtual
environments will be stored.
