Install Trollius
++++++++++++++++

Packages for Linux
==================

* `Debian package
  <https://packages.debian.org/fr/sid/python-trollius>`_
* `ArchLinux package
  <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-trollius/>`_
* `Fedora and CentOS package: python-trollius
  <http://pkgs.org/download/python-trollius>`_


Install Trollius on Windows using pip
=====================================

Since Trollius 0.2, `precompiled wheel packages <http://pythonwheels.com/>`_
are now distributed on the Python Cheeseshop (PyPI). Procedure to install
Trollius on Windows:

* `Install pip
  <http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html>`_, download
  ``get-pip.py`` and type::

  \Python27\python.exe get-pip.py

* If you already have pip, ensure that you have at least pip 1.4. If you need
  to upgrade::

  \Python27\python.exe -m pip install -U pip

* Install Trollius::

  \Python27\python.exe -m pip install trollius

* pip also installs the ``futures`` dependency

.. note::

   Only wheel packages for Python 2.7 are currently distributed on the
   Cheeseshop (PyPI). If you need wheel packages for other Python versions,
   please ask.

Download source code
====================

Command to download the development version of the source code (``trollius``
branch)::

    hg clone 'https://bitbucket.org/enovance/trollius#trollius'

The actual code lives in the ``trollius`` subdirectory. Tests are in the
``tests`` subdirectory.

See the `trollius project at Bitbucket
<https://bitbucket.org/enovance/trollius>`_.

The source code of the Trollius project is in the ``trollius`` branch of the
Mercurial repository, not in the default branch. The default branch is the
Tulip project, Trollius repository is a fork of the Tulip repository.


Dependencies
============

On Python older than 3.2, the `futures <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/futures>`_
project is needed to get a backport of ``concurrent.futures``.

Python 2.6 requires also `ordereddict
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ordereddict>`_.


Build manually Trollius on Windows
==================================

On Windows, if you cannot use precompiled wheel packages, an extension module
must be compiled: the ``_overlapped`` module (source code: ``overlapped.c``).
Read `Compile Python extensions on Windows
<http://haypo-notes.readthedocs.org/python.html#compile-python-extensions-on-windows>`_
to prepare your environment to build the Python extension. Then build the
extension using::

    C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build_ext


Backports
=========

To support Python 2.6-3.4, many Python modules of the standard library have
been backported:
