Installation

PyTips is packaged using distutils and published on PyPI, so you can theoretically install it using pip, but it is still in the alpha stage, so you’re probably better off cloning from Bitbucket and running that:

hg clone ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/gthank/pytips
cd pytips
pip install -r requirements.txt

Fair warning: I generate that requirements file by running pip freeze and doing very minimal cleanup, so until I cut an official release, it will probably contain helpful tools that aren’t strictly necessary for running PyTips.

virtualenv

PyTips plays nicely with virtualenv, and I HIGHLY recommend you use it.
