Installing packages on Windows is not necessarily easy when
they contain C++ code. I usually use
`Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages `_
for one package but it requires some tricks to start from
scratch and install all the needed packages.
That's what this package is doing.
The module helps installing modules in *Windows* and *Linux*.
It installs two scripts. The first one installs modules:
pymy_install3
The second one updates installed modules::
pymy_update3
For a specific module::
pymy_update3
To install a preconfigured set of modules::
pymy_install3 --set=pyquickhelper
``--help`` gives the usage.
It provides the following functionalities:
* help installing module from GitHub, pip and setup
* install other common tools or editors
* provides a list of modules to install to use Python to manipulate data (IPython, pandas, scikit-learn...)
* function to build a setup with Python, R and useful packages like `WinPython `_
Source of the packages:
* `PyPI `_: pure python packages
* `Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages `_: packages with C++
* `xavierdupre.fr `_: custom build (xgboost, ...)
