Installing build dependencies
=============================
Setting up Python virtual environment
-------------------------------------
A good practice is to create a separate Python virtual environment for each
project. If you don't have `virtualenv`_ yet, install and activate it using::
curl -O https://raw.github.com/pypa/virtualenv/master/virtualenv.py
python virtualenv.py <name_of_the_venv>
. <name_of_the_venv>/bin/activate
Installing Cython
-----------------
Use ``pip`` (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip) to install Cython_::
pip install Cython
Installing numpy
----------------
Use ``pip`` to install numpy_::
pip install numpy
Numpy can also be obtained via scientific python distributions such as:
- Anaconda_
- `Enthought Canopy`_
- `Python(x,y) <http://python-xy.github.io/>`_
.. note::
You can find binaries for 64-bit Windows on http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/.
Installing Sphinx
-----------------
Sphinx_ is a documentation tool that converts reStructuredText files into
nicely looking html documentation. Install it with::
pip install Sphinx
numpydoc_ is used to format the API docmentation appropriately. Install it
via::
pip install numpydoc
