Python code on Windows¶

  • Install Python 2.7 (this step is already done if you are following the instructions above),

  • Add Python to the PATH environmental variable

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6318156/adding-python-path-on-windows-7

  • Follow the instructions in README file in directory $(BIGARTM_ROOT)/3rdparty/protobuf/python/. In brief, this instructions ask you to run the following commands:

    python setup.py build
python setup.py test
python setup.py install

    On second step you fill see two failing tests:

    Ran 216 tests in 1.252s
FAILED (failures=2)

    This 2 failures are OK to ignore.

At this point you should be able to run BigARTM tests for Python, located under $(BIGARTM_ROOT)/python/tests/.

  • [Optional] Download and add to MSVS Python Tools 2.0. All necessary instructions can be found at https://pytools.codeplex.com/. This will allow you debug you Python scripts using Visual Studio. You may start with the following solution: $(BIGARTM_ROOT)/src/artm_vs2012.sln.
