installation info in a nutshell

===================================================

**PyPI name**: py_

**Pythons**: CPython 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, PyPy-5.4

**Operating systems**: Linux, Windows, OSX, Unix

**Requirements**: setuptools_ or Distribute_

**Installers**: ``easy_install`` and ``pip``

**Code repository**: https://github.com/pytest-dev/py

easy install or pip ``py``

-----------------------------

Both `Distribute`_ and setuptools_ provide the ``easy_install``

installation tool with which you can type into a command line window::

    easy_install -U py

to install the latest release of the py lib.  The ``-U`` switch

will trigger an upgrade if you already have an older version installed.

.. note::

   As of version 1.4 py does not contain py.test anymore - you

   need to install the new `pytest`_ distribution.

Working from version control or a tarball

-----------------------------------------------

To follow development or start experiments, checkout the

complete code and documentation source::

    git clone https://github.com/pytest-dev/py

You can also go to the python package index and

download and unpack a TAR file::

activating a checkout with setuptools
