  2. !coderponies Does anypony know how to permanently let Python know about modules installed in odd directories, like /usr/local? Do I just set PYTHONPATH?

    • !coderponies GNU Stow has proved to be an amazing program! I have installed several packages from source now, and they can all be easily uninstalled with a single command.

    • !coderponies # UNIX tip: To search man pages by name and description, use "man -k keyword" or "apropos keyword", which function exactly the same. To see all of the man pages in a certain man section, try "man -s sectionname -k '.*'" . This works because man -k and apropos take a regular expression as the keyword, and .* makes it match everything.

    • !coderponies GNU Stow 2.1.3 released. I haven't used this project yet, but it seems like it would solve a lot of problems with installing packages from source in UNIX-like systems. It manages symlinks in a common directory which point to files from packages that are really separately installed: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-stow/2012-01/msg00000.html
