Introduction

The Grizzled Python Utility Library is a general-purpose Python library with a variety of different modules and packages. It’s roughly organized into subpackages that group different kinds of utility functions and classes. For a sampling of what’s available, see the API documentation.

Grizzled is under continual development, so check back regularly.

Getting and installing Grizzled Python

Installing via EasyInstall

Because grizzled is available via PyPI, if you have EasyInstall installed on your system, installing the library is as easy as running this command (usually as root or the system administrator):

easy_install grizzled

Installing from source

You can also install grizzled from source. Either download the source (as a zip or tarball) from http://github.com/bmc/grizzled/downloads, or make a local read-only clone of the GitHub repository using one of the following commands:

$ git clone git://github.com/bmc/grizzled.git
$ git clone http://github.com/bmc/grizzled.git

Once you have a local grizzled source directory, change your working directory to the source directory, and type:

python setup.py install

To install it somewhere other than the default location (such as in your home directory) type:

python setup.py install --prefix=$HOME
