Instructions

The first thing to do is create a file ~/.pydistutils.cfg with the following content:

[install]
install_lib = ~/py-lib
install_scripts = ~/bin

It's also a good idea to set PYTHONPATH variable in ~/.profile:

export PYTHONPATH=~/py-lib

Now we can proceed and install easy_install:

$ cd ~
$ mkdir py-lib bin
$ curl http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py > ez_setup.py
$ source .profile
$ python ez_setup.py

Before installing flexget, some required libraries try to import a module unittest which is not provided by OpenELEC's Python distribution.

To "fix" this, let's install the old pyunit:

$ bin/easy_install pyunit

Finally we can proceed and install FlexGet:

$ bin/easy_install flexget transmissionrpc

All done.
