pysetup3.4

pysetup3.4 command [args]

command
    The command to pass to the `setup.py` script, such as `install`, `build`, `sdist`, `develop`, or any other supported command by `setuptools`.

[args]
    Optional arguments to pass to the `setup.py` script. These can include options to control the installation directory, compiler flags, and other build-related settings.

The `pysetup3.4` command is a wrapper around the standard `python3.4 setup.py` command. It is designed to specifically invoke the `setup.py` script using the Python 3.4 interpreter. This is useful in environments where multiple Python versions are installed, and you need to ensure that a particular setup script is executed with Python 3.4. The primary purpose is to build and install Python packages specifically using Python 3.4 libraries and tools. This can be important for ensuring compatibility with specific dependencies or for creating environments tailored to Python 3.4. In essence, `pysetup3.4` ensures that the package installation is tied to the correct Python version, preventing potential conflicts that could arise from using the default Python interpreter.

Requires Python 3.4 to be installed and accessible in the system's PATH. The package being built must have a `setup.py` file in the current directory or a specified location.

Install a package:
pysetup3.4 install

Build a distribution:
pysetup3.4 sdist

Install in develop mode:
pysetup3.4 develop

If `pysetup3.4` is not found, ensure that it's in your PATH or that it is an alias defined in your shell configuration file. If errors occur during the execution of `setup.py`, carefully examine the error messages and refer to the documentation for the specific package you are installing.

The `pysetup3.4` command is likely a custom script or alias created in a specific environment where managing multiple Python versions is crucial. It is not a standard Linux command but a way to enforce Python 3.4 execution for setup scripts. The usage emerged to manage complex deployments with precise Python version requirements.
