Installation

Dependencies

  • numpy
  • pandas (0.13 and later)
  • matplotlib

pandas is only required for pyblock.pd_utils and pyblock.error and matplotlib for pyblock.pd_utils. Hence pandas and/or matplotlib need not be installed if those submodules are not required, in which case pyblock/__init__.py must be modified to stop the pyblock.pd_utils and pyblock.error from being automatically imported.

Installation instructions

pyblock can be installed from PyPI:

$ pip install pyblock

or from the source package:

$ python setup.py install

Both pip and setup.py have options for installing in non-default locations, such as home directories. Add --help to the above commands for details.

Alternatively, pyblock can be used directly from source by adding the location of the pyblock directory to the PYTHONPATH environment variable.
