[solved] How can I go about installing a Python module with pacman?
I want to install a module for Python, but if I just do "sudo python setup.py install" in the modules directory i might be installing something I may potentially want to remove later and want it documented by pacman.
Would I have to use ABS to create the installable package?

Re: [solved] How can I go about installing a Python module with pacman?
Have you checked the repos and aur? The module you want may have already been packaged.
If not, do it yourself using /usr/share/pacman/PKGBUILD-python.proto as your starting point.

Yup, nothing showed up. It doesn't exist. I wanna make and manage my fist package on AUR.

Re: [solved] How can I go about installing a Python module with pacman?
Hmmmmm, i have a question. I want to install two things: a python module, and a gedit plugin. The python module is needed for the gedit plugin to work, and that's about it. Can i make a package for the AUR that will install both things as one package? Or should i do them seperately?
Also, for a python module i'm guessing the only dependancy would be python, and then from there pacman would get all other deps for python, right?
The deps are: Gedit Plugin --> python module --> python --> etc
right?

If there's no other use for the python module then just put them in one package. Having 2 separate packages does make your job easier in the case that you need to update only one.
There may be other deps, namcap can help you find them. You should use namcap in any case, for all your packages.

It's in the "abs" package

What do you mean by that Yannick_LM ? What is in the "ABS" package?

He means that PKGBUILD-python.proto, referenced above, is provided by the abs package, which you can install in the usual way with pacman.
