odML libraries and editor

Installation

To install the package simply run:

$ sudo python setup.py install --prefix /usr

If you just want to try out, tell python where to find the library and start either the gui or a python shell:

$ PYTHONPATH=. ./odml-gui
$ PYTHONPATH=. python

Windows

A windows package is seperately bundled. To build the windows package from source, follow these instructions:

1. Install the following software (ALWAYS use the 32-bit versions!)

   • python-2.7
   • [pygtk-windows](all-in-one installer: http://www.pygtk.org/downloads.html)
   • py2exe
   • setuptools

2. Install build dependencies

   $ easy_install.exe lxml

   If this fails, you can fall back to installing it from the Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages

3. To just run the software use:

   $ python.exe odml-gui

   You may also rename odml-gui to odml-gui.py, which allows you to start the gui through double clicking on that file. You can even right click and send it as a shortcut to the desktop.

4. Compile a binary for redistribution

   $ python.exe setup.py py2exe

   For some reason the compiled binary has a different look, so running the software from source gets a more native look.
