[SOLVED] How to install Python module from source?

[zurdar]

Hi,

Could somebody please guide me in installing Python module from source? It's about https://github.com/Diaoul/subliminal which I've installed as per instruction using "[sudo] pip install subliminal". Problem is that version 2.0.5 that is available on PyPi is outdated and there was a vast amount of development done since it's release. I'd like to install develop branch from github, but don't even know how to start...

[UPDATE]

Just got reply in another place. In case somebody might need it in the future below is a solution:

I'm no Python expert but..
I think you just checkout the code from git and run the "setup.py" program.

Code: Select all

sudo python setup.py install

.... maybe.

Thanks, will try that. Should I uninstall PyPi version first or this new one will replace it?

usually safest to uninstall first, there is a lot of details around "pip" I dont understand.
