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
• ScientificPython, a collection of Python modules ideal for scientific computing
• PythonCAD, a Python-scriptable CAD package
• python-ipython, an enhanced interactive Python shell
• python-ropemacs, python refactoring for emacs
• 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
• Thousands of managed python packages, including
  • GitPython, a library for interacting with git repos
  • MySQL-python, an interface to MySQL
  • fuse-python, a Python binding for managing filesystems in userspace
  • gstreamer-python, a Python binding for gstreamer control

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?
