  • Unless I'm doing something wrong, you need the business subscription to use the PyPM and that cost's 900 dollars...

  • @ShepherdProductions module is now available for ActivePython on all platforms except Windows 64 bit. If you run a Windows 32 bit build of ActivePython, you should be able to get the module.

  • in what sense is ActivePython different from Python, in another words, why do we need ActivePython in extra to Python?

  • @lukmackul ActivePython is our distribution of Python. You might want to choose ActivePython instead of the one from python.org because of PyPM - ActivePython's binary package manager. That's what this screencast is meant to show off. It's much easier to install packages (especially binary packages on Windows) with PyPM.

  • @ActiveStateSoftware What is the difference with easy_install (from setuptoools) ?

  • pypm just gives me an error

  • hi, i installed activepython and it's great but i have one problem i have python 2.7 and there are libraries that can'r be founded in the pypm section such as PyOgre, panda3d and more, I would wanna know 2 things:

    1-is it possible to install panda3d from their site and make it work with activepython coz i have no luck so far doing so.

    2- if my only choice is to use pypm, then how to develop a version of the library and upload it to your server and install it using pypm, thank you
