Python 2.7 is required. It can either be the default 'python' on your

``$PATH`` or it can be accessible via the ``python2.7`` binary. If

Python 3.4 or newer is required. It can either be the default 'python3' on

You do have access to the virtualenv, and you can use this to run individual

If you want to run the full test suite against the PostgreSQL database, set

the database up as described in :doc:`DATABASE`, then create a `postgres.cfg`

First, create a virtual environment. By default ``virtualenv`` uses the
114
113
``python`` executable it finds first on your ``$PATH``. Make sure this is
115
Python 2.7 (just start the interactive interpreter and check the version in
114
Python 3.4 (just start the interactive interpreter and check the version in
116
115
the startup banner). The directory you install the virtualenv into is up to
117
you, but for purposes of this document, we'll install it into ``/tmp/py27``::
119
% virtualenv --system-site-packages /tmp/py27
121
If your default Python is not version 2.7, use the ``--python`` option to
116
you, but for purposes of this document, we'll install it into ``/tmp/mm3``::
118
% virtualenv -p python3 --system-site-packages /tmp/mm3
120
If your default Python is not version 3.4, use the ``--python`` option to
122
121
specify the Python executable. You can use the command name if this version
123
122
is on your ``PATH``::
125
% virtualenv --system-site-packages --python=python2.7 /tmp/py27
124
% virtualenv --system-site-packages --python=python3.4 /tmp/mm3
127
or you may specify the full path to any Python 2.7 executable.
126
or you may specify the full path to any Python 3.4 executable.
129
128
Now, activate the virtual environment and set it up for development::
131
% source /tmp/py27/bin/activate
130
% source /tmp/mm3/bin/activate
132
131
% python setup.py develop
