[Twisted-Python] Python3 twistd daemon for Ubuntu 14.04 alternatives

[steven meiers]

i could be totally wrong, and please correct me if i am, but try this:

target: this will give you a current twisted / python installation and
keep the packages seperate from the system ones



# 1. install a package called virtualenv and pip on your system
apt install virtualenv pip

# 2. create a directory for your project, if you dont have one already,
#    to keep it seperate from other code
mkdir yourproject

# 3. create a virtualenv for your project, -p sets the python version
#    to use and "venv" is just the directory virtualenv installs the
#    python environment to
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 venv


# 4. activate that environment (your command prompt will
#    change to:  (venv)... 
source venv/bin/activate


# 5. install twisted (while still being in the same terminal window
#    and directory with your activated virtual environment
pip install twisted


now you can code as usuall and run your code with python mycode.py, try
python --version


# 6. if you want to use trial for testing run:
hash -r

#to update the path settings, because trial is installed by the system
twisted package as well and without the hash -r your env will still
find the system trial first
