Installation

If you are lazy, just perform

$ easy_install -U plac

which will install the module on your system (and possibly argparse too, if it is not already installed). Notice that Python 3 requires the easy_install version of the distribute project.

If you prefer to install the full distribution from source, including the documentation, download the tarball, unpack it and run

$ python setup.py install

in the main directory, possibly as superuser.

Testing

Run

$ python doc/test_plac.py

or

$ nosetests doc

or

$ py.test doc

Some tests will fail if sqlalchemy is not installed. Run an easy_install -U sqlalchemy or just ignore them.

Documentation

The source code and the documentation are hosted on Google code. Here is the full documentation in HTML and PDF form:
