Unpack
the tarfile from
the official version
on Google Code or check out the svn version.
Go to the scitools directory and issue the command
python setup.py install
This will install the package. If your Python installation resides in
system directories, where only the root user has write access, you
either need to log in as root and perform the installation command above,
or you can install scitools in some directory where Python can
find it, e.g.,
python setup.py install --prefix=$PREFIX
if you use the scheme for installing software as described in Appendix A in
the book. Other methods for installing Python software like
scitools are also described
in that appendix. You can alternatively set PYTHONPATH and
PATH to $scripting/scitools/lib
and $scripting/scitools/bin, respectively, as described
in Chapter 1.2 of the book.
