  1. Not working for me. I keep getting: python setup.py –home=~

    /usr/lib64/python2.7/distutils/dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'long_description_content_type'

    warnings.warn(msg)

    /usr/lib64/python2.7/distutils/dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'project_urls'

    warnings.warn(msg)

    usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] …]

    or: setup.py –help [cmd1 cmd2 …]

    or: setup.py –help-commands

    or: setup.py cmd –help

    error: option –home not recognized

    Any suggestions?

  3. Thanks. And for anyone trying to use this in conjunction with a cron job on a hosted server, you have to include the python path in the command you give to the cronjob, as shown here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23136675/crontab-missing-python-module/23136849#23136849

  5. Can't thank you enough for solving my problem. Been browsing the internet and couldn't find any solution, but your video did the trick. I almost gave up and accepted the fact I can't do much with my shared webhost. Now, I have more freedom and enjoy programming with python. Many many thanks! 🙂

  11. The 'python setup.py –home=~' doesn't appear to work in my version of python 2.6.6. I needed to use 'python setup.py install –home=~' instead.
    Hope that helps
