Advanced installation¶
When you install peony using this command:
$ pip3 install 'peony-twitter[all]'
You install some modules that you may not need. But before deciding to not install these modules you need to know what will change if they are not installed.
python-magic¶
You can install it by running:
$ pip3 install 'peony-twitter[magic]'
python-magic
is used to find the mimetype of a file.
The mimetype of a media has to be given when making a multipart upload.
If you don’t install this module you will not be able to send large pictures
or GIFs from a file path that would not be recognized by the mimetypes
module (shipped with Python) or from a file object.
If python-magic
doesn’t seem to be used check that libmagic is installed on
your system as this module depends on this native library.
You can follow the installation instructions of python-magic.
aiofiles¶
You can install it by running:
$ pip3 install 'peony-twitter[aiofiles]'
or directly:
$ pip3 install aiofiles
When this is installed every file will be opened using aiofiles, thus every read operation will not block the event loop.
Note
magic and aiofiles can be installed using the media
extra requirement:
$ pip3 install 'peony-twitter[media]'
aiohttp¶
This command will install some optional dependencies of aiohttp:
$ pip3 install 'peony-twitter[aiohttp]'
or again directly:
$ pip3 install cchardet aiodns
This will install cchardet and aiodns, which could speed up aiohttp.
Minimal installation¶
If you don’t need these modules you can run:
$ pip3 install peony-twitter
You can install these modules later if you change your mind.
