Install python packages on OpenShift

I'm trying to install python packages on OpenShift but I see a dearth of pages about the best way to do this. Can someone please suggest the best way of getting on say oauth2 and simplejson. I've tried including these in the setup.py, but I have no idea whether these are actually available or I'll have to upload and point to the path. How can I do this?

Solution

  • Did you install rhc (made by OpenShift.com) ?
    If not then see on OpenShift.com: Installing OpenShift RHC Client Tools

    Now you can access server with rhc 

    rhc ssh

    and then you can do as always:

    checking python version (with big V)

    python -V

    checking pip version (with big V)

    pip -V

    checking installed modules

    pip freeze

    searching module 

    pip search simplejson

pip search json | sort # sorted result

    installing new module 

    pip install simplejson

    and other linux/bash functions

    ls
ls -al
echo "hello world"
cd folder_name
mkdir new_folder_name
chmod +x filename
cat filename
grep 'hello' */*.py
history
nano filename
for x in */* ; do echo $x ; done
