Babun Setup for Python Developers

Babun is “A Windows shell you will love!”

It's a turn-key CygWin distribution for developers and is very easy to install and maintain. For a Python developer, Babun allows working in an almost-POSIX environment – with some limitation, of course. This causes less friction when handling FOSS projects that are often biased towards a standard Linux environment, e.g. by using shell scripts for boot-strapping and things like that.

• Download the installer ZIP archive from the Babun homepage <http://babun.github.io/>_.

• Unzip it (e.g. using Windows Explorer).

• Double-click the installer (install.bat), and wait…

• Catch up (babun update).

• Change the default shell from zsh to bash if you're used to it (babun shell /bin/bash).

• Edit ~/.bashrc to activate loading of ~/.bash_aliases.

• Install additional Python essentials::

  pact install python-setuptools python-ming pact install libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libyaml-devel curl -skS https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python (optional) pip install virtualenv (optional) curl -skS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitsuhiko/pipsi/master/get-pipsi.py | python

Issue:

My babun still use different pip from $PATH (I had installed anaconda, so it find a pip installed in anaconda)

But it use correct python from bubbn (can use whereis python to check)

I use following command to check if pip is installed:
python -m ensurepip, and the output show pip already install

    Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages
    Requirement already satisfied: pip in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages
    Requirement already satisfied: appdirs>=1.4.0 in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from setuptools)
    Requirement already satisfied: packaging>=16.8 in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from setuptools)
    Requirement already satisfied: six>=1.6.0 in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from setuptools)
    Requirement already satisfied: pyparsing in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from packaging>=16.8->setuptools)

It seems install but did not have executable pip file

Currently, I find a workaround way use pip init.py file to run pip

#　ｓｗｔｉｃｈ　ｐａｔｈ　ｔｏ　ｗｈｅｒｅ　ｐｉｐ　ｉｓ　ｉｎｓｔａｌｌｅｄ
cd /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/
# use python to run pip __init__.py (main), such as checking current install python module
python __init__.py list
# or search package
python __init__.py search pygments
# then install
python __init__.py install pygments

Could set alias, such as alias pip_babun='python /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/__init__.py' for convenience.

• Enjoy!
