python-markdown 2.6.5 (new formula)

[alexbarton]

Add the Python "markdown" package, including the "markdown_py" binary.

Name the formular "python-markdown" to follow the Debian naming scheme:
https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=markdown_py

If I understand the Jenkins log correctly, the failed "default" test is not a problem of this Formula, right?

Or can I do something about it?

[bfontaine]

No it’s a Jenkins issue.

[bfontaine]

@BrewTestBot test this please.

[dunn]

Should be depends_on :python if MacOS.version <= :snow_leopard

[alexbarton]

I updated the Formular accordingly, thanks!

[dunn]

What's the benefit of installing this via Homebrew rather than pip?

[alexbarton]

@dunn: If I use pip, the packages are installed to /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages, which requires root privileges. And because I didn't find an easy way to tell pip to install to /usr/local (without creating configuration files and adjusting the environment), I thought using Homebrew would be a good idea? No?

[DomT4]

I'd prefer for this to be sandboxed in libexec, really.

ENV.prepend_create_path "PYTHONPATH", libexec/"lib/python2.7/site-packages"

@tdsmith is free to disagree with me though.

[DomT4]

If we went down this route you'd want to also use similar syntax to jrnl around bin.install and the env scripting.

[dunn]

Oh yeah, I forgot the pip installed with the system Python requires sudo. That's a good enough reason for me, then.

You can actually do pip install --user or something similar. I'm also wondering what advantage the markdown_py binary gives over other Markdown implementations in Homebrew; isn't this mainly useful as a library?

[alexbarton]

@MikeMcQuaid I have 3rd party projects and inhouse tools depending on the markdown_py binary.

[tdsmith]

For consistency, it seems like this should only expose the command line script (i.e. the site-packages should end up under libexec like Dom suggested) or it should be in the homebrew-python tap. I'd prefer the former, I think, though it will be confusing that python-markdown does not install an importable python module.

[alexbarton]

@tdsmith I updated the Formula accordingly. Is that what you meant by "should end up unter libexec"?

[MikeMcQuaid]

Thanks @alexbarton!
