Installing with pip
-------------------
We prefer `pip `_
to install hplefthandclient on platforms other than Windows::
$ pip install hplefthandclient
To upgrade using pip::
$ pip install --upgrade hplefthandclient
Installing with easy_install
----------------------------
If you must install hplefthandclient using
`setuptools `_ do::
$ easy_install hplefthandclient
To upgrade do::
$ easy_install -U hplefthandclient
Installing from source
----------------------
If you'd rather install directly from the source (i.e. to stay on the
bleeding edge), install the C extension dependencies then check out the
latest source from github and install the driver from the resulting tree::
$ git clone git://github.com/WaltHP/python-lefthandlient.git
$ cd python-lefthandclient/
$ python setup.py install
