Here we assume you want install Concurrence for use with 'Normal Python' as opposed to 'Stackless Python'. This is the easiest way to get started with Concurrence. Later you may want to try out Stackless because it delivers a bit better performance (typicaly about 10-25% faster). We will be using setup tools <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools>

Note that Linux users might need to make sure they are running as root, or prefix the commands with 'sudo'.web
First we need to install Pyrex <http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/python/Pyrex>
_::shell
easy_install pyrex
Next we will install concurrence::json
easy_install concurrence
If might give an error: Setup script exited with error: SandboxViolation: ... This is a known problem with Pyrex, please do::ubuntu
python -c "from Pyrex.Compiler import Scanning;Scanning.get_lexicon()"
And then try install concurrence againless
Finally we need to install the Greenlet package <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/greenlet>
_::svn
easy_install greenlet
If you run into compiler problems on Linux, this is most probably caused by missing development headers for Python and or libevent. On Ubuntu these packages can be installed using::ui
apt-get install python-dev apt-get install libevent-dev
If you run into compiler problems on OSX, this is most probably casued by missing libevent and or its headersthis
Download latest stable release of libevent <http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent>
_.That should be it!, you should now be able to start playing with the examplesgoogle
If you want to use the simple web framework included with Concurrence, you need to install Routes <http://routes.groovie.org>
_ and WebOb <http://pythonpaste.org/webob>
_::
easy_install routes easy_install webob
If you use Python2.5, you might want to install 'simplejson' as well::
easy_install simplejson
First make sure you have the source distibution of Concurrence::
svn checkout http://concurrence.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ concurrence
The examples can be found in the examples directory and are documented on the Concurrence website at http://opensource.hyves.org/concurrence
If you want to run Concurrence on top of stackless (which is a bit faster), you will need to install Stackless Python. Download the latest stackless tarball from www.stackless.com. unpack it somewhere (/tmp/stackless), and execute the folowing commands:
UBUNTU: Make sure you have <libreadline-dev> package. Otherwise you have no history support in the python interactive shell (on ubuntu: apt-get install libreadline-dev)
We will install stackless in /opt/stackless using the prefix argument to configure. This will prevent any existing python installation from being overwritten::
UBUNTU: ./configure --prefix=/opt/stackless --with-readline --with-zlib=/usr/include make make install OSX (Leopard): ./configure --prefix=/opt/stackless --enable-framework --enable-stacklessfewerregisters --with-readline --with-zlib=/usr/include echo '#define SETPGRP_HAVE_ARG' >> pyconfig.h make make install
I always like to make a symlink to stackless for everyday usage and to differentiate it from 'normal' python:
ln -s /opt/stackless/bin/python2.5 /usr/bin/stackless
