Install Instructions
For local development / building stand-alone binaries
You need Python 2.7 32 bit.
If you are using Windows download the Windows x86 MSI installer.
Be sure to add python to PATH during installation.
You can run mangle using 64 bit Python 2.7,
but won't be able to build a binary with py2exe,
and any performance difference is negligible.
Install virtualenv globally, if you don't already have it.
> pip install virtualenv
and install all dependencies in a venv in the mangle directory, e.g.
...\mangle> virtualenv venv
> venv\Scripts\activate
(venv) > pip install -r requirements.txt
You can run the GUI via
(venv) > python mangle.pyw
Optionally, you can install all the dependencies globally
so you can simply click on the mangle.pyw file to run it.
Optional (Windows)
To actually build a stand-alone .exe, install
Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7
A standalone binary can be created in the dist folder via
(venv) > python setup.py install
