Installing easy_install on a shared hosting account

These are the steps I took to setup easy_install on a shared hosting account (in this case bluehost). They only have python 2.4, but it worked.

echo "export PYTHONPATH=~/tools:$PYTHONPATH" >> ~/.bash_profile

echo "export PATH=~/tools:$PATH" >> ~/.bash_profile

source ~/.bash_profile

mkdir ~/tools

wget http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py

python ez_setup.py --install-dir ~/tools/

Then I was able to install Pyramid

easy_install --install-dir ~/tools virtualenv
virtualenv --no-site-packages env
cd env
bin/easy_install pyramid

So the question is, can I get wsgi working on this host?

Installing Pyramid on a shared hosting platform

Taking a little break from my free website experiment, I've decided to take a peek at the new Pyramid framework. Don't be fooled, Pyramid has good pedigree and is battle tested as it existed for more than 2 years under a different name. It's also one of the best documented frameworks out there (bar none).

These are the steps I took to get Pyramid Running on a shared host.
note: The default python was 2.6 and the shell account came with easy_install preinstalled

echo "export PYTHONPATH=~/tools:$PYTHONPATH" >> ~/.bash_profile
echo "export PATH=~/tools:$PATH" >> ~/.bash_profile
source .bash_profile
mkdir ~/tools
easy_install --install-dir ~/tools virtualenv
virtualenv --no-site-packages env
cd env
bin/easy_install pyramid

You should see lots of output similar to this:



When you see 'Finished processing dependencies for pyramid', you're good.
