README

        
ScattPy is a scikits package providing numerical methods

of solving light scattering by non-spherical particles.

Installation from sources

=========================

In the directory scattpy (the same as the file you are reading now), just do:

python setup.py install

Distribution

============

A scikit can be distributed by different means:

Source distribution

-------------------

To prepare a source distribution of the package:

        python setup.py sdist

Eggs

----

Eggs are a format for easy distribution of packages. It is cross platform for

packages without any C code, and platform specific otherwise. To build an egg:

Binary installers

-----------------

Binary installers are platform specific. On Windows, you can do:

        python setup.py bdist_wininst

On Mac OS X (this requires an extension, bdist_mpkg, available on Pypi)

        python setup.py bdist_mpkg

Pypi

====

Any scikits can also be registered to pypi, for source and eventually binary

installer hosting. To register a package, and upload the sources at the same time:

        python setup.py register sdist upload

This will register the package to pypi, prepare a tarball of the package, and

upload it to pypi. You can also upload the files manually to pypi webpage.

Other distributions can be uploaded to pypi. For example:

        python setup.py bdist_egg upload

Once an egge is uploaded to scipy, people can simply install it with easy_install:

        easy_install scikits.example

If you don't want to install as an egg, but from the sources:

        easy_install -eNb example scikits.example

Will download the most recent sources, and extract them into the example

directory.
