Installation using easy_install
|

===================================================
|

|

Both `Distribute`_ and setuptools_ provide the ``easy_install``
|
||||
installation tool with which you can type into a command line window::
|
||||
|
||||
easy_install -U py
|
||||
|
||||
to install the latest release of the py lib and py.test. The ``-U`` switch
|
||||
will trigger an upgrade if you already have an older version installed.
|
||||
Note that setuptools works ok with Python2 interpreters while `Distribute`_
|
||||
additionally works with Python3 and also avoid some issues on Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
Known issues:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Windows**: If "easy_install" or "py.test" are not found
|
||||
please see here for preparing your environment for running
|
||||
command line tools: `Python for Windows`_. You may alternatively
|
||||
use an `ActivePython install`_ which makes command line tools
|
||||
automatically available under Windows.

CPython and type ``py.test --genscript=mytest`` and then use
|

``jython mytest`` to run py.test for your tests to run in Jython.

- **On Linux**: If ``easy_install`` fails because it needs to run

|
