Python 3.5.2使用apt安装Cherrypy

Question

i developed a small web APP with CherryPy for Python. I want to run this on a production Server with ubuntu 16.04. My Sysadmin tells me that I shall not use pip or github repository, because of ... something wrong with using anything but apt ... he says.

Is there a way of getting a recent cherrypy for python3 with apt ?

Answer 1

Its absolutly fine instaling cherrypy on Ubuntu. Here what I have done on my server:

First Install pip

sudo apt-get install python-pip

OR

sudo apt install python-pip

OR for Python3 (try apt or apt-get)

sudo apt install python3-pip 

After installing pip , Install cherrypy

pip install cherrypy

Make sure you have installed python and based on the python version install pip. After installing pip, everything will be fine. This works for me on my Ubuntu servers.

Answer 2

The solution on Ubuntu 16.04 with python3 (Python 3.5.2):

Install virtualenvironment for python3

sudo apt-get install python3-venv

Create a folder for your environment

mkdir environment

Create the environment

python3 -m venv environment

Change into folder

cd environment/bin

Activate environment

source activate

Install pip within the env

apt install python3-pip

Install cherrypy >= 18.1.0

pip3 install cherrypy

Run program

python3 ./my_python_script.py
