Installation of Python Implementation¶

External Dependencies¶

• install python setuptools and python-dev
• spread-python (e.g. via GAR installer, sources can be downloaded here: http://www.spread.org/files/SpreadModule-1.5spread4.tgz, the version automatically installed by setuptools is NOT working!)
• python-protobuf (via ubuntu package python-protobuf or protobuf sources)

Installation¶

• get sources
• edit setup.cfg and replace protocolroot with the path to the RSBPRobotocol files (e.g. protocolroot=${prefix}/share/rsbprotocol)

export PYTHONPATH=$prefix/lib/python2.6/site-packages
python setup.py build
python setup.py install --prefix=$prefix

Afterwards, import rsb should be possible in a python shell.
