SciParam - a wxPython based GUI for scientific values ===================================================== Overview -------- SciParam is a Python package to easily add additional quality control for entering scientific parameters in wxPython-based user interfaces. For a detailed description of features and usage, look at the included documentation inside the 'doc/' directory, or visit the SciParam homepage at http://great-er.intevation.org/sciparam/ Requirements ------------ Python from http://www.python.org/ Tested with version 2.1, but should work with newer versions. wxPython from http://wxPython.org/ Version 2.3.2 or newer is needed to use all features, though everything except using choice parameters works with wxPython 2.2.9, too. Installation ------------ To install SciParam, just make sure the SciParam-$VERSION/ directory is in the "PYTHONPATH" environment variable. For example, if you extracted SciParam-0.9.0.tar.gz to /home/fred/, then you would have something like: export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/fred/SciParam-0.9.0/ in your ~/.bash_profile, etc. If you use Windows NT, 2000, or XP, then set your environment variables by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting Properties. If you use some other version of windows, you'll need to set the variable at a command prompt, or in autoexec.bat, with the 'set' command. If you'd like to install SciParam system-wide on your machine and into the default PYTHONPATH, you can use setup.py to do so: # python ./setup.py install Be sure to run setup.py with appropriate privileges (root under Unix).
