How to migrate packages to a new Python installation?
If they're pure Python, then in theory you could just copy them across from one Lib\site-packages directory to the other. However, this will not work for any packages which include C extensions (as these need to be recompiled anew for every Python version). You also need to consider e.g. .pth files which have been created by the installation packages, deleting pre-existing .pyc files etc.
I'd advise just reinstalling the packages.
How can i quickly migrate/copy my python packages that i have installed over time to a new machine?
This is my scenario;
Am upgrading from an old laptop running python2.5 & Django1.0, to a new laptop which i intend to install python 2.6.2 & Django 1.1. In time i have downloaded and installed many python packages in my old machine(e.f pygame,pyro genshi,py2exe bla bla bla many...), is there an easier way i can copy my packages to the new laptop without running installation file for each individual package?
