Subject: Adding single package from global site-packages?
Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author
I created a virtualenv using --no-site-packages for development.  I
was able to install most of the packages I need in this virtualenv
using pip; however, I've been having difficulty getting PyQt4 and
wxPython installed (they don't seem to have a setup.py file).  I gave
up and just used apt-get to install these packages to the global site-
packages directory.

Now that I've installed these two packages to the global site-packages
directory, I'd like to add them to my virtualenv.  Is there a
recommended way of adding these two packages to my virtualenv (without
cluttering the virtualenv with all the additional Python packages that
Ubuntu seems to install by default)?  It appears that PyQt4 lives
under /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/PyQt4.  Should I just create a
symlink from my virtualenv site-packages directory or copy the files
from this folder over?

TIA,
Brad

The symlink works great.  PyQt4 doesn't appear under pip freeze, but I
can live with that.

symlinks are the recommended way to get a "partial site-packages" setup
working.
