Rhodecode distribution already installed

On the other side of the table was me, the more business-and-UX-oriented guy. Over the past 2 years I started to feel comfortable with Python and developed several projects with it or lead the development in the CTO role. The main issue for me was not RhodeCode itself, the issue was that I was not even able to install it, compile dependencies, add packages and adjust settings under Linux reliably!

Not speaking of my desperate attempts to install RhodeCode under Windows: in best case an adventure, in reality a nightmare. If me, the not-so-technically-unskilled CEO of the company, is failing to achieve an installation of our own product, how should any new busy corporate user with maybe no Python skills at all just get started with RhodeCode Enterprise? And then even pay for it?! As I digged deeper, I learned that the issues were even more complex.

Stackoverflow was full of cries for help and it seemed to me that the whole Python packaging landscape was evolving since some tools become deprecated, some seemed to have merged and other were just too hard for me to learn within a reasonable amount of time.

Marcin and I decided that we needed dramatical improvements in stability, simplicity and performance of the RhodeCode installation and upgrade process for all major platforms and so I started the RhodeCode Installer project.

It iteratively tackled the Python-related installation and upgrade issues of RhodeCode. This is not great if you are in the middle of an installation and some of the downloaded packages just fail. Marcin fixed the server availability issues by moving away from using the official PyPI server towards hosting on our own PyPI mirror server pyramidpypi. These servers held all the necessary dependencies of RhodeCode Enterprise as cached version and the Installer downloaded from there from now on more reliably.

PyPI is accompanied by the tool Pip which can be used to download, compile and install packages which are hosted on PyPI, a mirror server or the file system. Looks easy, right? The second most common installation issue our users run into was incompatible Pip versions on their systems. In the past, RhodeCode was installed in a Python application sandbox by a tool called Virtualenv which put all necessary packages, including Pip itself, into a subfolder of the project.

As more and more RhodeCode users started to upgrade their installations they run into odd compatibility issues with Pip and for me, as outsider, it felt as if Pip changed too strongly on every new major release 1. We also had issues with old Virtualenv versions and in general our users often ended up with broken or totally mangled sandboxes after upgrading their RhodeCode installations.

Having modern web interface to do these tasks means that I have more time to focus on the things that matter, like research and writing actual code.
