<p><em>Or, &#8220;Installing Python 2.7 via Homebrew&#8221;.</em></p>
<div class="section" id="package-manager">
<h3>Package Manager<a class="headerlink" href="#package-manager" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>While Snow Leopard comes with a large number of UNIX utilities, those
familiar with Linux systems will notice one key component missing: a
package manager. Mxcl&#8217;s <em>Homebrew</em> is the answer.</p>
<p>To install Homebrew, simply run:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsS http://gist.github.com/raw/323731/install_homebrew.rb)"</pre>
</div>
<p>It&#8217;s basic commands are <strong>update</strong>, <strong>install</strong>, and <strong>remove</strong>.</p>
<p>And we can now install Python 2.7:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ brew install python --framework</pre>
</div>
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--framework</span></tt> option tells Homebrew to compile a Framework-style Python build, rather than a UNIX-style build. The outdated version of Python that Snow Leopard comes packaged with
is built as a Framework, so this helps avoid some future module installation
bugs.</p>
<p><em>Don&#8217;t forget to update your environment PATH.</em></p>

<div class="section" id="distribute-pip">
<h3>Distribute &amp; Pip<a class="headerlink" href="#distribute-pip" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p><em>Distribute</em> is a fantastic drop-in replacement for <em>easy_install</em> and
<em>setuptools</em>. It allows you to install and manage python packages from
pypi.python.org, amongst a few other sources. It also plays well with
<em>virtualenv</em> and user-enviornments.</p>
<p><strong>easy_install</strong> is considered by many to be a deprecated system, so we
will install it&#8217;s replacement: <strong>pip</strong>. Pip allows for uninstallation
of packages, and is actively maintained, unlike setuptool&#8217;s easy_install.</p>
<p>To install <em>pip</em> and Distribute&#8217;s <em>easy_install</em>:</p>
<p>If you have homebrew:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ brew install pip</pre>
</div>
<p>...And, if you&#8217;re a masochist:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
$ python distribute_setup.py
$ easy_install pip</pre>
</div>
<p>To install <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pip</span></tt>:</p>
<p>Hopefully you&#8217;ll never have to use <strong>easy_install</strong> again.</p>

<p><strong>Distribute</strong> is a fantastic drop-in replacement for <strong>easy_install</strong> and <strong>setuptools</strong>. It allows you to install and manage python packages from PyPi, amongst a few other sources.</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt>To install it, run the python script available here:</dt>
<dd>&lt;<a class="reference external" href="http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py">http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py</a>&gt;</dd>
</dl>
<p>Make sure that <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">`C:\Python27\`</span></tt>, and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">`C:\Python27\Scripts`</span></tt> are in your PATH.</p>
<p><strong>easy_install</strong> is considered by many to be a deprecated system, so we will install it&#8217;s replacement: <strong>pip</strong>. Pip allows for uninstallation of packages, and is actively maintained, unlike setuptool&#8217;s easy_install.</p>
<p>To install pip, simply run:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ easy_install pip</pre>

<div class="section" id="linux-ubuntu">
<h2>Linux (Ubuntu)<a class="headerlink" href="#linux-ubuntu" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Oneiric Ocelot, the latest version of Ubuntu, <strong>comes with Python 2.7 out of the box</strong>. Python 3.2 can be installed and run with the following commands:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ sudo apt-get install python3-minimal
$ python3</pre>
</div>
<p>Older versions of Python aren&#8217;t available from the official repository. However, if it&#8217;s needed (for example to support legacy code), we can add an unsupported repository and install an older version of Python (2.5 in the example below):</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install python2.5</pre>
</div>
<div class="section" id="installing-setuptools-and-pip">
<h3>Installing setuptools and pip<a class="headerlink" href="#installing-setuptools-and-pip" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>While Python has an extensive standard library, the set of packages available from the Internet is even more extensive. In order to install them easily, we&#8217;ll install the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">setuptools</span></tt> package and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pip</span></tt> installer:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>.. XXX: sudo?</pre>
</div>
<blockquote>
<div>$ wget <a class="reference external" href="http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py">http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py</a>
$ python distribute_setup.py
$ wget <a class="reference external" href="https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py">https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py</a>
$ python get-pip.py
$ rm get-pip.py distribute_setup.py</div></blockquote>
<p>Now, most Python packages can be installed using the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pip</span></tt> command. For example, if we wanted to install Django:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ sudo pip install django</pre>
</div>
<p>A full list of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pip</span></tt>&#8216;s capabilities is available by typing <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pip</span> <span class="pre">--help</span></tt>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="linux-manual">
<h3>Linux (Manual)<a class="headerlink" href="#linux-manual" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>While your system will quite likely already have Python installation, you might wish to install a different version. This is done in the typical Linux software source install procedure:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.2/Python-2.7.2.tgz
$ tar -xvf Python-2.7.2.tgz
$ cd Python-2.7.2
