Install Trollius

Install Trollius on Windows using pip

Since Trollius 0.2, precompiled wheel packages are now distributed on the Python Cheeseshop (PyPI). Procedure to install Trollius on Windows:

  • Install pip, 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.

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 project is needed to get a backport of concurrent.futures.

Python 2.6 requires also 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 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:

Name Python Backport
OSError 3.3 asyncio.py33_exceptions
_overlapped 3.4 asyncio._overlapped
_winapi 3.3 asyncio.py33_winapi
collections.OrderedDict 2.7, 3.1 ordereddict (PyPI)
concurrent.futures 3.2 futures (PyPI)
selectors 3.4 asyncio.selectors
ssl 3.2, 3.3 asyncio.py3_ssl
time.monotonic 3.3 asyncio.time_monotonic
unittest 2.7, 3.1 unittest2 (PyPI)
unittest.mock 3.3 mock (PyPI)
weakref.WeakSet 2.7, 3.0 asyncio.py27_weakrefset
