Enstaller

Python Package Management

The Enthought Enstaller Project is a replacement for the Easy Install project that lets you easily manage Python packages on your system. It is backwards compatible with Easy Install and includes the easy_install command and the setuptools package. It lets you easily manage Python packages on your system. It also adds the package management tool enpkg for installing, removing, updating, deactivating, activating, and listing eggs on your system.

• Browse Python egg packages in Enthought's egg repository, or any other repository, including the Python Cheese Shop . You can also browse the packages installed on your system.
• Download and install packages. Enstaller automatically resolves package dependencies to ensure that packages installed have everything they need in order to be used.
• Upgrade packages you currently have, along with their dependencies, as necessary.
• Remove packages you no longer want.
• Deactivate and reactivate packages without removing them from the system.

The Enstaller command-line interface is also available for quick operations and scripting.
