If you're using Python on hcil2, you should know about the module directory I have set up. 



To make it all accessible, just add the following to your .bashrc. 



<code>

    if [ -e '/fs/hcil2/code/modules/python' ]; then

        export PYTHONPATH="/fs/hcil2/code/modules/python2.7"

        export PATH="$PATH:/fs/hcil2/code/modules/python2.7/scripts"

    fi

    if [ -e '/usr/local/python-2.7.1/bin/python2.7' ]; then

        alias python="/usr/local/python-2.7.1/bin/python"

    fi

</code>



So far, I've installed: 

aes - simple AES encryption

atom - for working with ATOM feeds

BeautifulSoup - HTML/XML parser for screen scraping and code beautification

gdata - Google's serverAPI for Docs, Spreadsheets, Calendar, Maps, etc.

numpy - data structures for numerical work

PIL - Python Imaging Library

pylint - syntax checker

web - Web.py framework

yappy - parser generator (like yacc/bison)



The directory is hcil-writable so you can add others. Instead of the usual install command (python setup.py install) you would use this: 



<code>

python setup.py install --install-lib=/fs/hcil2/code/modules/python2.7 --install-scripts=/fs/hcil2/code/modules/python2.7/scripts

</code>



To use these in a web app that runs as apache, add the following to the top of your main file: 

import sys; sys.path.insert(0, "/fs/hcil2/code/modules/python2.7")



I set this up a while ago, but since it's grown over time, I thought all should know where it is.
