Setup

Tracker compatibility​

As a programming language that lets you work more quickly and integrate your systems more effectively, Python is available in a huge number of different computing environments and platforms, from Civilization IV through Django framework to Ubuntu One.

To make the Snowplow Python Tracker work out-of-the-box with as many different Python programs as possible, we have tried to:

  1. Minimize external dependencies and third party libraries
  2. Provide setup instructions

Dependencies​

To make the Snowplow Python Tracker work with as many different Python programs as possible, we have tried to keep external dependencies to a minimum. The main external dependencies currently are:

These dependencies can be installed from the package manager of the host system or through PyPi.

PyPI​

The Snowplow Python Tracker is published to PyPI, the the official third-party software repository for the Python programming language.

This makes it easy to either install the tracker locally, or to add it as a dependency into your own Python app.

pip​

To install the Snowplow Python Tracker locally, assuming you already have pip installed:

$ pip install snowplow-tracker --upgrade

To add the Snowplow Tracker as a dependency to your own Python app, edit your requirements.txt and add:

snowplow-tracker==1.0.2
