ReleaseEngineering/PuppetAgain/Python
The python module uses this data tree to get python packages.
In general, these are just downloads from pypi. However, a few packages are special - see below.
These packages are at
and can also be sourced at
- puppet:///python/packages
in file resources.
Mirror Access
If you would like to point your 'pip' at the python repository, you'll want a ~/.pip/pip.conf that looks something like
[global] no-index = true find-links = http://puppetagain.pub.build.mozilla.org/data/python/packages
Special Cases
virtualenv.py
An un-packaged copy of virtualenv.py is at python/packages/virtualenv.py. This is used to bootstrap virtualenvs.
Twisted
Some virtualenvs need to be installed on systems without compilers. In particular, Talos systems don't have compilers or development libraries installed. For these cases, we install packages that can fall back to a pure-python implementation when the compile fails. The tarball of Twisted-10.2.0 is *not* the one from pypi; that tarball was unpacked, conditionalExtensions was set to [] in both setup.py and twisted/topfiles/setup.py, and a new tarball made with setup.py sdist, and the result is in the python-packages directory. Newer Twisteds may not need this treatment -- who knows.
