1. REQUIREMENTS
===============
* Python 2.6 or higher, 3.2 or higher (http://www.python.org/)
- Tested with Python 3.8
* Cython 0.21 or higher (http://cython.org/)
- Tested with Cython 0.29.16
* EFL must be the same minor version of the bindings,
es. python-efl 1.24 need efl 1.24
* To build the DOCS you will also need:
- python-sphinx
- [optional] graphviz
* At least 4GB of free RAM to build
2. BUILDING PYTHON-EFL
======================
Once EFL is built and installed in your desired destination, proceed with
building the wrapper using:
python setup.py build
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To build the bindings you will need at least 4GB of free ram!
Otherwise the build process will badly fail.
Distribution tarballs include pre-generated C source files, so
cython usage is disabled by default, while is enabled in development git
versions. You can always force the usage of cython using two environment
variables: DISABLE_CYTHON or ENABLE_CYTHON
* FORCE C SOURCES FOR BUILD
env DISABLE_CYTHON=1 python setup.py build
* FORCE THE USAGE OF CYTHON
env ENABLE_CYTHON=1 python setup.py build
3. CLEANUP
==========
* For cleaning up:
python setup.py clean --all
* To also remove all the C/HTML files generated by Cython:
python setup.py clean_generated_files
WARNING: you will need cython to regenerate the C files, do not use this
in distribution tarballs, unless you know what are you doing.
4. INSTALLATION
===============
* For system-wide installation (needs administrator privileges):
(sudo) python setup.py install
* For user installation:
python setup.py install --user
* To install for python3:
(sudo) python3 setup.py install (also cython need to be installed with py3)
* Install with a custom prefix:
(sudo) python setup.py install --prefix=/MY_PREFIX
* You can also uninstall using:
(sudo) python setup.py uninstall
5. DOCUMENTATION
================
To build the docs for the bindings you need to have Sphinx installed, for
(optional) graphs you need Graphviz, for (optional) Youtube demonstration
videos you need the YouTube module from sphinx contrib repository.
packages: python-sphinx, graphviz, python-pygraphviz, libgv-python
To build the docs just run:
python setup.py build_doc
You will find the generated html docs under the folder:
build/sphinx/html
Note: you must build the bindings before building the docs, or you will end
up with empty documentation.
6. TESTS and EXAMPLES
=====================
The tests/ folder contains all the unit tests available, you can run individual
tests or use the 00_run_all_tests.py in each folder or even in the tests/ base
dir to run all the tests at once.
Python 2.7 / 3.2 or greater is required for running the tests.
The scripts in examples/ folder must be run by the user as they require
user interaction.
