Introduction

birdhousebuilder.recipe.conda is a Buildout recipe to install Anaconda packages. This recipe is used by the Birdhouse project.

Usage

The recipe requires that Anaconda is already installed. It assumes that the default Anaconda location is in your home directory ~/anaconda. Otherwise you need to set the ANACONDA_HOME environment variable or the Buildout option anaconda-home.

Supported options

This recipe supports the following options:

anaconda-home

Buildout option with the root folder of the Anaconda installation. Default: $HOME/anaconda. The default location can also be set with the environment variable ANACONDA_HOME. Example:

export ANACONDA_HOME=/opt/anaconda

Search priority is:

1. anaconda-home in buildout.cfg

2. $ANACONDA_HOME

3. $HOME/anaconda

conda-channels

Buildout option (optional) with additional channels of conda packages.

pkgs

A list of packages to install separated by space.

channels

A list of space separated conda channels (optional). These channels are merged with conda-channels option.

env

Name of conda environment used for installation (optional). If environment is missing then all packages are installed in the anaconda root environment (anaconda-home).

default-pkgs

A list of packages to install when creating environment separated by space (optional). Default: python

on-update

If set to false conda will not check for updates when running buildout update. Default: false.

Example usage

The following example buildout.cfg installs the conda packages lxml, nose and matplotlib:

[buildout]
parts = conda_pkgs

anaconda-home = /home/myself/anaconda
conda-channels = https://conda.binstar.org/myself

[conda_pkgs]
recipe = birdhousebuilder.recipe.conda
pkgs = lxml nose matplotlib
channels = birdhouse mychannel
env = mytest
default-pkgs = python
on-update = false
