We have talked about moving to other source code control systems, but would need to do all three packages simultaneously, and just haven't had the time yet.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">These three software packages depend on about 20 external software packages, several of which have different build systems, and we've been trying to see what it would take to get these all under some common build system. Many of these packages have to be built a specific way with particular options turned off, so they don't clash with other packages. This means we can't use generically built packages that are provided by other vendors. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">The main issue for me is my admitted lack of knowledge on how pip works. I assuming that all the external packages that PyNIO and PyNGL depend on would also have to be either prebuilt on many systems, or would have to be readily buildable via source code. Several of these packages are not under github either.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">The packages that are required include:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><div class="gmail_default">cairo</div><div class="gmail_default">curl</div><div class="gmail_default">esmf</div><div class="gmail_default">expat</div><div class="gmail_default">freetype</div><div class="gmail_default">g2clib</div><div class="gmail_default">gdal</div><div class="gmail_default">hdf</div><div class="gmail_default">hdf5</div><div class="gmail_default">hdfeos</div><div class="gmail_default">hdfeos5</div><div class="gmail_default">jasper</div><div class="gmail_default">jpeg</div><div class="gmail_default">libpng</div><div class="gmail_default">libxml2</div><div class="gmail_default">netcdf</div><div class="gmail_default">pixman</div><div class="gmail_default">pkg-config</div><div class="gmail_default">proj</div><div class="gmail_default">szip</div><div class="gmail_default">udunits</div><div class="gmail_default">zlib</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">As a side: I used conda to install different versions of Python and NumPy, and see that it has a free service called Binstar for hosting software for package managers. I had to give up on conda, because it was using the old, default compiler on my Mac, and I couldn't build my other packages with this compiler. I realize there's probably a way to customize conda so that it uses a newer compiler, but I haven't tried this yet.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br class="">Given my lack of experience with python installers, I would love to hear from the python community about how we could best proceed with getting all of these packages to work with a python installer like pip. It seems there's more than one way to do this, but it's not clear to me what is the best way.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Thanks for the discussion!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">--Mary</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 18, 2014 at 7:42 AM, Root, Benjamin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:broot@aer.com" target="_blank">broot@aer.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">+1 for posting to github or any one of the other code collaboration<br>

Same thing, if possible, for PyNIO, please? One of the biggest barriers<br>
for me recommending PyNIO to others has been the lack of the ability to<br>
do "pip install pynio".<br>
