SIP - C/C++ Bindings Generator for Python v2 and v3 =================================================== The SIP documentation (including installation instructions) can be found in the ``doc`` directory. Building from the Mercurial Repository -------------------------------------- If you are using a copy of SIP cloned from the Mercurial repository, or are using a Mercurial archive, then you have to prepare it first before you follow the normal installation instructions. The preparation is done using the ``build.py`` script which can be found in the same directory as this ``README`` file. If it isn't there then you probably have a packaged release and should just follow the normal installation instructions. The ``build.py`` script requires that ``flex`` and ``bison``, and the Mercurial Python bindings are installed. If you want to create the HTML documentation then Sphinx must also be installed. To prepare run the following:: python build.py prepare Note that ``build.py`` is a Python v2 script. Now you can follow the normal installation instructions. The ``build.py`` script has other useful commands, use the ``--help`` option to see the details.
