PKGBUILD with easy_install
Hello, I want to install obspy, a python package for seismology. On their page
http://obspy.org/wiki/InstallationInstructions
they give instructions for installing it with easy_install from the distribute python package.
Of course I would like to do it in an Arch friendly way and not run the commands as they are, but rather write a proper PKGBUILD. So my question is if there are templates for such a PKGBUILD - maybe some package on the AUR allready using easy_install?

Re: PKGBUILD with easy_install
check AUR for PKGBUILDs that might use it or use python setup.py

Re: PKGBUILD with easy_install
I haven't found any still, that's why I was asking. Also, I'm very new to python - how can I use setup.py? The package doesn't seem to provide it (they say to use easy_install)

Re: PKGBUILD with easy_install
Install the abs package, then have a look at /usr/share/pacman/PKGBUILD-python.proto. Also I'd suggest looking at PKGBUILDs for official Arch python packages in preference to those in the AUR - quality is likely to be better overall.
However.. it seems the main problem is the lack of links to downloadable tarballs - you can't build Arch packages without source. You could follow the svn build instructions "for developers", which use setup.py, or you could contact the devs explaining that easy_install is not compatible with your distro's packaging standards, and requesting source tarballs be made available.
