Babun Setup for Python Developers

Babun is “A Windows shell you will love!”

It's a turn-key CygWin distribution for developers and is very easy to install and maintain. For a Python developer, Babun allows working in an almost-POSIX environment – with some limitation, of course. This causes less friction when handling FOSS projects that are often biased towards a standard Linux environment, e.g. by using shell scripts for boot-strapping and things like that.

• Download the installer ZIP archive from the Babun homepage.

• Unzip it (e.g. using Windows Explorer).

• Double-click the installer (install.bat), and wait…

• Catch up (babun update).

• Change the default shell from zsh to bash if you're used to it (babun shell /bin/bash).

• Edit ~/.bashrc to activate loading of ~/.bash_aliases.

• Install additional Python essentials:

  pact install python-setuptools python-ming
  pact install libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libyaml-devel
  curl -skS https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python
  pip install virtualenv
  curl -skS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitsuhiko/pipsi/master/get-pipsi.py | python
  

• Enjoy!
