I'm trying to run this setup.py file, which was in a .tat.gz file. I'm going to the directory it's in and running python setup.py but get this error message:
brandon@brandon-NV57H:~/Downloads/numpy-1.9.2$ python setup.py
Running from numpy source directory.
/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'test_suite'

or: setup.py --help-commands
or: setup.py cmd --help
error: no commands supplied
brandon@brandon-NV57H:~/Downloads/numpy-1.9.2$
Can anyone help me out? How do I fix this? I have both python2.7 and python3.4.

To install a package that includes a setup.py file, open a command or terminal window and: cd into the root directory where setup.py is located. Enter: python setup.py install.
setup.py is designed to be run from the command line. You'll need to open your command prompt (In Windows 7, hold down shift while right-clicking in the directory with the setup.py file. You should be able to select "Open Command Window Here").
As the setup.py file is installed via pip (and pip itself is run by the python interpreter) it is not possible to specify which Python version to use in the setup.py file.
py:34: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: setup.py install is deprecated. Use build and pip and other standards-based tools. I found a very detailed write-up explaining this issue: "Why you shouldn't invoke setup.py directly" (October 2021).
If you want to install it then the command is install:
python setup.py install
If you need to build the package first, use the build command before installing:
python setup.py build
Hope this helps!
