I want to use the gntp module to display toaster-like notifications for a C/C++ software. I want to package all the dependencies for the soft to be self-executable on a another computer.
The gntp module is only available through the pip installer, which cannot be used (The computer which is running the soft do not have any internet connection) : how can I install it from the sources ?
I would prefer not to force the user to install easy_install/pip and manually add the pip path to the %PATH.
PS : I'm using Python 2.7 on a Windows machine.
python setup.py install
You may need administrator privileges for step 5. What you do here thus depends on your operating system. For example in Ubuntu you would say sudo python setup.py install
EDIT- thanks to kwatford (see first comment)
To bypass the need for administrator privileges during step 5 above you may be able to make use of the --user flag. In this way you can install the package only for the current user.
The docs say:
Files will be installed into subdirectories of site.USER_BASE (written as userbase hereafter). This scheme installs pure Python modules and extension modules in the same location (also known as site.USER_SITE). Here are the values for UNIX, including Mac OS X:
