Using command "sudo pip install cefpython3" probably won't work currently. 
Because there are multiple binary files provided for both Windows/Linux. A 
solution may be to use Python egg distribution:

  "python setup.py bdist_egg" is the command produces a Python egg distribution. This 
  records the Python version and platform. You need to be using setuptools instead of
  distutils for that command to be available.

Uploading linux distutils setup.py binaries worked only after packing it using 
TAR GZIP (in 7-zip first pack it to tar, then again and only then GZIP option 
will appear). Otherwise error occured "invalid distribution file" for both .zip 
and .7z extensions.

Uploading Inno Setup installer fails with "invalid distribution file" (selected 
MS Windows installer).

Uploaded files on PyPI are sorted by name. You can't change the order by 
changing upload sequence. So when "pip install cefpython3" is issued it will 
probably get the first one, which is Linux 32-bit binaries.

See Python Packaging User Guide for more options beside Python eggs:
https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/
https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/projects.html

Python Wheel:
https://wheel.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

Worth considering using "setuptools" instead of "distutils":

When installing on Windows pip downloads linux 64bit binaries:

  C:\Users\ctomczak>pip install cefpython3
  Downloading/unpacking cefpython3
  Downloading cefpython3-31.0-linux64-setup.tar.gz (37.5Mb): 37.5Mb downloaded
  Running setup.py egg_info for package cefpython3

After upgrading pip from 1.0.2 to 1.5.6 it starts recognizing files a bit 
better in regards to platform. See logs from pip 1.5.6:

  C:\Users\ctomczak>pip install cefpython3
  Downloading/unpacking cefpython3
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement cefpython3 (from versions: 31.0-linux32-setup, 31.0-linux64-setup)
  Cleaning up...
  No distributions matching the version for cefpython3

Uploading win32.tar.gz didn't help, still the same error.

Found this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18230956/could-not-find-a-version-that-satisf
ies-the-requirement-pytz

  Starting with v1.4, pip will only install stable versions as specified by
  PEP426 by default. If a version cannot be parsed as a compliant PEP426 
  version then it is assumed to be a pre-release.

So I've tried running "pip install --pre cefpython3", but now another error:

  C:\Users\ctomczak>pip install --pre cefpython3
  Downloading/unpacking cefpython3
  Running setup.py (path:c:\users\ctomczak\appdata\local\temp\pip_build_ctomczak\cefpython3\setup.py) 
    egg_info for package cefpython3
  Installing collected packages: cefpython3
  Running setup.py install for cefpython3
  ..
  error: option --single-version-externally-managed not recognized

Googled this error as well and some suggested that old version of "setuptools" 
may be causing this, so I've updated setuptools using "pip install setuptools 
--upgrade". But it didn't help, still the same error.

Maybe it is required that setup.py uses "setuptools" instead of "distutils" for 
that option to work? That would require modifying Windows and Linux installers 
and lots of further testing. Looks like it would be easier to create an egg 
installer.

There is still question why does it detect 
"cefpython3-31.0.win32-py2.7-setup.tar.gz" as a PRE release? Is the naming 
wrong?

Python Egg should contain information on platform (win32, win-amd64, 
linux2-i386, linux2-amd64, for Py3: linux-i386, linux-amd64). You can fetch 
this using:

  import sysconfig
  sysconfig.get_platform()

To embed platform information use setup(.., platforms=['win32'], ..). 
Unfortunately when running "python setup.py bdist_egg" the egg created is named:

  cefpython3-31.0-py2.7.egg

We should probably change it to ".win32.egg", so that multiple eggs for various 
platforms may be uploaded to PyPI. Allowed names for exe are (found in 
setuptools):

  .win32.exe
  .win32-py
  .win-amd64.exe
  .win-amd64-py

Examples from PyPI:

  pymongo-2.7.2.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
  pymongo-2.7.2.win32-py2.7.exe
  lxml-2.3.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
  lxml-2.3.win32-py2.7.exe

  pymongo-2.7.2-py2.7-win32.egg
  pymongo-2.7.2-py2.7-win-amd64.egg
  lxml-2.3-py2.7-win-amd64.egg
  lxml-2.3-py2.7-win32.egg

Adding --plat-name=PLATFORM or -p PLATFORM flags to bdist_egg does not help. 
Egg file name still has no platform in it.

Added support for Python eggs in revision c6ff43c19492.

It turns out that PIP tool doesn't support Python Eggs. To install egg use 
easy_install:

  easy_install cefpython3

Unfortunately easy_install doesn't support uninstalling packages. PIP supports 
uninstalling.

To install using PIP we need to provide Python Wheel files (.whl) on PyPI. To 
create .whl file do:

  pip install wheel
  python setup.py bdist_wheel

On Linux 64-bit sysconfig.get_platform() returns "linux-x86_64".

Before .egg and .whl can be created for Linux we need to resolve Issue 145: 
"Linux installers: setup.py and .deb package issues - dependencies and 
libudev.so.0".

Note that when creating Python Wheel my_post_install() is executed.

Original comment by czarek.t...@gmail.com on 1 Dec 2014 at 4:19

Python Wheels are now working. Uploaded .whl to PyPI and installed using "pip 
install cefpython3" without problems. Uninstall worked as well. A minor fix was 
required, see revision 378141c21645.

Still need to create .egg/.whl files on Linux when Issue 145 is fixed.

Another fix for Python Wheels in revision 688f00124efe.

Python Eggs don't support post install mechanism 
(http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue41). So for Linux .egg is not an option 
on PyPI. Execute permissions need to be set in a post-install script, and a 
libudev symlink needs to be created as well.

Original comment by czarek.t...@gmail.com on 3 Dec 2014 at 6:50

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Python Wheels also don't support post install mechanism. On the plus execute 
permissions on files are set fine without postinstall. However libudev issue 
still persists.

When CEFPython upgrades to Chrome 41 libudev issue will be finally resolved, 
see:
https://code.google.com/p/cefpython/issues/detail?id=105#c6

When that happens we will provide .whl distributions on PyPI. For now try to 
upload debian packages.

Original comment by czarek.t...@gmail.com on 3 Dec 2014 at 7:18

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Looks like another bug with Python Wheel. File for distribution is named 
"cefpython3-31.1-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl". But when uploading on PyPI error 
occurs:

  Binary wheel for an unsupported platform.

Looks like Python Wheel has issues with platform identifier. It should probably 
be "linux-x86_64.whl", so that it is recognized properly. On PyPI pymongo/lxml 
I don't see distributions for Linux 64bit.

Renaming file probably won't resolve issue, as "linux_x86_64" is also embedded 
in meta data files and most probably this will cause issues as well.

It's not possible to upload .deb package. PyPI says that file name must start 
with "cefpython3", but in case of a deb package it is "python-cefpython3".

Original comment by czarek.t...@gmail.com on 3 Dec 2014 at 7:27

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There will be no packages for Linux on PyPI, as there is no way to run 
post-install script to fix libudev dependency. When cefpython updates to Chrome 
41 and libudev is fixed then we might reconsider creating a Wheel package for 
Linux. However it still won't be able to install libcef.so / libffmpegsumo.so / 
pdf.so dependencies. Debian package can do that.
