1 This package provides simple data logging/loading classes for consist
2 data managing. General data is pickled using cPickle, and there are
3 specialized methods for saving data in the form of binary strings or
8 data_logger uses `setuptools' for installation. Setuptools is basically
9 an extension of the standard Python distutils package which supports
10 automatic package dependency tracking. The installation procedure
11 should be (on Debian-esque systems)
12 # apt-get intall python-setuptools python-numpy-dev
13 # easy_install -f http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/code/python/ data_logger
15 There is one speedbump you might run into:
16 * an outdated version of easy_install (see ez_setup.py section)
21 http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
22 to bootstrap setuputils installation on your machine (if neccessary).
24 If the bootstrapping doesn't work, you may need to install a current version
25 of setuptools. On Debian-based systems `apt-get install python-setuptools'.
26 Once you have *some* version of setuptools, upgrade with
27 easy_install -U setuptools
