| mechanize installation instructions |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| NOTE: This file describes the old-fashioned install. |
| |
| I now recommend using EasyInstall instead. |
| |
| See the web page for EasyInstall instructions (included here as |
| README.html). |
| |
| If you use EasyInstall, you should ignore the rest of this file. |
| |
| |
| Dependencies |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| See the web page for the version of Python required (included here as |
| README.html). |
| |
| See setup.py for the required Python packages. |
| |
| |
| Installation |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| To install the package, run the following command: |
| |
| python setup.py build |
| |
| then (with appropriate permissions) |
| |
| python setup.py easy_install --no-deps . |
| |
| |
| Alternatively, just copy the whole mechanize directory into a directory |
| on your Python path (eg. unix: /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages, |
| Windows: C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages). Only copy the mechanize |
| directory that's inside the distributed tarball / zip archive, not the |
| entire mechanize-x.x.x directory! |
| |
| |
| To run the tests (none of which access the network), run the following |
| command: |
| |
| python test.py |
| |
| This runs the tests against the source files extracted from the package. |
| For help on command line options: |
| |
| python test.py --help |
| |
| To run the functional tests (which DO access the network), run the |
| following command: |
| |
| python functional_tests.py |
| |
