Python 3 in SUSE
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
* Subpackages *
|
|
|
|
Python 3 is split into several subpackages, based on external dependencies.
|
|
The main package 'python3' has soft dependencies on all subpackages needed to
|
|
assemble the standard library; however, these might not all be installed by default.
|
|
|
|
If you attempt to import a module that is currently not installed, an ImportError is thrown,
|
|
with instructions to install the missing subpackage. Installing the subpackage might result
|
|
in installing libraries that the subpackage requires to function.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ensurepip *
|
|
|
|
The 'ensurepip' module from Python 3 standard library (PEP 453) is supposed to deploy
|
|
a bundled copy of the pip installer. This makes no sense in a managed distribution like SUSE.
|
|
Instead, you need to install package 'python3-pip'. Usually this will be installed automatically
|
|
with 'python3'.
|
|
|
|
Using 'ensurepip' when pip is not installed will result in an ImportError with instructions
|
|
to install 'python3-pip'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Documentation *
|
|
|
|
You can find documentation in seprarate packages: python3-doc and
|
|
python3-doc-pdf. These contan following documents:
|
|
|
|
Tutorial, What's New in Python, Global Module Index, Library Reference,
|
|
Macintosh Module Reference, Installing Python Modules, Distributing Python
|
|
Modules, Language Reference, Extending and Embedding, Python/C API,
|
|
Documenting Python
|
|
|
|
The python3-doc package constains many text files from source tarball.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Interactive mode *
|
|
|
|
Interactive mode is by default enhanced with of history and command completion.
|
|
If you don't like these features, you can unset the PYTHONSTARTUP variable
|
|
in your .profile or disable it system wide in /etc/profile.d/python.sh.
