Any unix/linux commands or perl function would be good.
The following python snippet can help you.
sudo pip install timestring
Not a very good idea to pip install arbitrary packages from pypi into
the system-wide python installation. It is a best practice to use
something like virtualenv or buildout to isolate such packages required
for specific project.
To achieve this using virtualenv, you might have to use the following
commands.
Install virtualenv
On Debian/Ubuntu based systems, the package to install for this is
'python-virtualenv'.
Once it is installed, create a virtual python environment using the
following command
$ virtualenv /path/to/name-of-virtual-environment
Activate it:
$ source /path/to/name-of-virtual-environment/bin/activate
Install the packages from pypi that you need for your project into the
virtualenv.
For example,
$ pip install timestring
When the virtualenv is activated, the 'python' command will be pointing
to the isolated python installed within the virtualenv. So you can write
your scripts and then run them by just invoking 'python' as you would do
outside a virtualenv.
Exit the virtualenv:
$ deactivate
To execute the script using the virtualenv without activating it, run
$ /path/to/name-of-virtual-environment/bin/python your_script.py
Thanks & Regards,
