The package auto-installs the new functions and objects as builtins upon first import. This means that they become instantely available to all other modules without any further action on your part. Add the line import mx. The two basic building blocks in mxBeeBase are storage and index . Storage is implemented as variable record length data storage with integrated data protection features, automatic data recovery and locking for multi process access.
Older versions are available as separate downloads from the old extensions page .
On Windows platforms the preferred method for installation is using the the Windows installer, since this doesn't require a C compiler to be installed on the system. All other platforms can use the distutils based installation which allows building and installing the package using the installed Python interpreter and the standard system C compiler. On such a system, unzip the package archive to a temporary directory and then run python setup.py install to install the package and python setup.py uninstall to uninstall it again. Added back .h header files to the mx-subdirectories. Third-party software was relying on these files, but the distutils process did not include them per default.
