Installation

First Install

pacer_lib is published on PyPi, the standard Python module repository, While you can download the tarball from the website, we suggest that you use setuptools to install pacer_lib.

Specifically, if you have either easy_install or pip installed, just type:

pip install pacer_lib

or

easy_install pacer_lib

Compatibility and Required Libraries

In case you are running into trouble using pacer_lib or are looking to develop or modify pacer_lib, we have provided some notes on the system on which we developed pacer_lib.

We developed pacer_lib on Cygwin x86 in Windows 7 for Python 2.7.6.

We make extensive use of Requests v2.3.0 and BeautifulSoup 4. We also use datetime and, in older versions of pacer_lib, we use lxml.
