About Fedora OS
Fedora is a secure, stable, and powerful Linux-based operating system that provides the latest free and open source software within a flexible and manageable environment for developers. We strive to:
- Be on the leading edge of free and open source technology by adopting and helping to develop new features and version upgrades.
- Establish and implement technical standards for packages, ensuring the quality and consistency of the operating system.
- Promote rapid adoption of new releases by allowing for easy upgrades with minimal disturbances to existing configurations.
Why use Fedora for Python development?
Fedora is a great Python development platform because many of the tools Python developers need are available right out of the box in Fedora, such as [...] [needs reordering]
- Python 2.x and Python 3.x runtimes
- Thousands of managed python packages
- GitPython, a library for interacting with git repos
- MySQL-python, an interface to MySQL
- PythonCAD, a Python-scriptable CAD package
- ScientificPython, a collection of Python modules ideal for scientific computing
- fuse-python, a Python binding for managing filesystems in userspace
- gstreamer-python, a Python binding for gstreamer control
- ipython, an enhanced interactive Python shell with Java integration
- python-ropemacs
- google-appengine-python, a Google AppEngine SDK
- Controlled and secure development environment with up-to-date package management
- Virtual environment integration for deployment and runtime integration
Setting up your Python development environment in Fedora
How do I yum?
Open a terminal and type su -c yum install [name-of-package] .
| What's a package? | A package consists of the metadata and compiled code for a library, collection, service, or application which the Fedora operating system can query, install, upgrade and remove, typically via a package management system. |
Why use a package versus downloading?
By using a package, you get all of a library's dependencies automatically installed, and any updates to the entire dependency tree are automatically applied.
You also get a replicable installation, easing the installation for end users.
Steps and commands to set up a basic development environment
su -c yum install vim-enhanced # (or python-ropeemacs, which will include emacs as a dependency)
su -c yum install git # (or subversion)
su -c yum install python # or python3
Should we include a virtual environment like openshift or ovirt?
