installing

[willpower2727]

Hi I am trying to figure out how to install "Yappi" (yet another python profiler) to profile a multi-thread script. The installation instructions from Yappi say I can install using "easy_install" or "pip install" methods.

I am running Vizard 4 (Python 2.7), which appears to have the pip package already installed. However, I can't figure out how to use it. I've tried the following commands in the python shell:

python -m pip install yappi-0.94.tar.gz

py -2.7 -m pip install yappi-0.94.tar.gz

I get nothing but a syntax error. Can anyone help me figure out my error? How can I make use of the pip package?

It seems that package requires building binary files from the source and a compatible compiler such as Visual Studio.

Thanks! i'll look into using VS to build

Are you planning to upgrade to Vizard 5? If so, the unofficial binary for yappi listed on this (http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/) page installs fine with the version of pip included with Vizard 5.
