I'm trying to setup ftw.mail for my postfix installation. Since I'm new to Linux and Python I don't really have a clue whether it is right, goes in the right direction or is rubbish.
From the official documentation I found this:
- Add ftw.mail to your buildout configuration:
[instance]
eggs +=
ftw.mail- Install the generic setup import profile.
(source: https://github.com/4teamwork/ftw.mail/blob/master/README.rst)
My first question is: Would "/etc/postfix/" the so called "buildout configuration"?
Secondly I had struggles in how to build this "egg" I tried:
$ wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -O - | sudo python for ez_setup
then:
$ sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
and to finish:
$ sudo easy_install ftw.mail
On the console I was told, that the egg was there:
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ftw.mail-2.3.1-py2.7.egg
I found it and I've read that I had to start it with:
$ PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cssutils-1.0-py2.7.egg
which basically did nothing. Now the question is: How do I install the egg?
To summarise my questions:
- Is "etc/postfix/" the buildout configuration directory I'm looking for?
- How do I install a Python egg?
- And what am I supposed to do with:[instance] eggs += ftw.mail?
- What is a "generic setup import profile"?
/etc/postfixis not a Python configuration directory at all. It contains the configuration files for Postfix itself. – Chesty
