Wheezy Web requires python version 2.4 to 2.7 or 3.2+. It is independent of operating system. You can install it from pypi site using setuptools:
$ easy_install wheezy.web
If you are using virtualenv:
$ virtualenv env
$ env/bin/easy_install wheezy.web
Since Wheezy Web is template engine agnostic, you need specify extra requirements (per template engine of your choice):
$ env/bin/easy_install wheezy.web[jinja2]
$ env/bin/easy_install wheezy.web[mako]
$ env/bin/easy_install wheezy.web[tenjin]
$ env/bin/easy_install wheezy.web[wheezy.template]
You can get the source code using mercurial:
$ hg clone http://bitbucket.org/akorn/wheezy.web
$ cd wheezy.web
Prepare virtualenv environment in env directory
$ make env
... and run all tests:
$ make test
You can read how to compile from source code different versions of python in the article published on mind reference blog.
You can run certain make targets with specific python version. Here we are going to run doctest with python3.2:
$ make env doctest-cover VERSION=3.2
Generate documentation with sphinx:
$ make doc
If you run into any issue or have comments, go ahead and add on bitbucket.
