easy install or pip py

Both Distribute and setuptools provide the easy_install installation tool with which you can type into a command line window:

easy_install -U py

to install the latest release of the py lib. The -U switch will trigger an upgrade if you already have an older version installed.

Note

As of version 1.4 py does not contain py.test anymore - you need to install the new `pytest`_ distribution.

Working from version control or a tarball

To follow development or start experiments, checkout the complete code and documentation source:

git clone https://github.com/pytest-dev/py

Development takes place on the ‘master’ branch.

You can also go to the python package index and download and unpack a TAR file:

https://pypi.org/project/py/

activating a checkout with setuptools

With a working Distribute or setuptools installation you can type:

python setup.py develop

in order to work inline with the tools and the lib of your checkout.
