- It gets increasingly difficult to work with the system's
  Python (and pip) that's linked with a pretty ancient version of
  libssl.  So build an own Python with a newer openssl version.

- pyOpenSSL was probably pinned to version 0.13 by requirements of
  Pegasus, which are now obsolete, so is the pinning

- If pyssl_from=tarball, pyOpenSSL 0.13 and matching openssl-1.01p
  will be installed. Otherwise openssl-1.0.2l will be compiled and
  the latest available versiomn of pyOpenSSL will b einstalled (via
  pip).

- Python compilation: rehash to make sure to use the newly built
  versions of python and pip, check for dbhas early as if it's
  missing, something must have gone wrong already during Pythoni
  compilation / installation

INSTALL
PyCBC installation instructions
===============================

Prerequisites
-------------

* Python 2.6 or 2.7
  Should be provided by the distribution.

* python-decorator >= 3.3
  Should be available in the distribution.
  
* argparse >= 1.2.0
  Should be available in the distribution

* Numpy >= 1.4.1 and Scipy >= 0.7.2
  Should be installable either via the distribution packaging system,
  pip or easy_install. Numpy >= 1.5.1 is required for GPU acceleration
  via CUDA due to a bug in older versions.

* LALSuite
  See https://www.lsc-group.phys.uwm.edu/daswg/docs/howto/lal-install.html
  for installation instructions. LALSuite must be configured with the
  --enable-swig-python option.

Installing PyCBC
----------------

    git clone https://github.com/ligo-cbc/pycbc.git
    cd pycbc
    python setup.py build
    python setup.py install --user
    python setup.py test

For installing system-wide, replace the 'setup.py install' command with
    sudo python setup.py install


Installing CUDA Python modules
------------------------------

For GPU acceleration through CUDA:

* Nvidia CUDA >= 4.0 (driver and libraries).

* PyCUDA >= 2013.1.1 - http://mathema.tician.de/software/pycuda
  See next section for instructions.

* SciKits.cuda >= 0.041 - http://scikits.appspot.com/cuda
  See next section for instructions.

* Mako >= 0.7.2 - http://www.makotemplates.org
  See next section for instructions.

These packages may not be available via the distribution packaging system,
at least in the required versions. Although they should be generally
installable via pip or easy_install, this method is not always available
on LSC clusters. Therefore, we report general instructions for installing
from source on your ~/.local directory.

PyCUDA:
    git clone http://git.tiker.net/trees/pycuda.git
    cd pycuda
    git submodule init
    git submodule update
    ./configure.py
    python setup.py build
    python setup.py install --user

If your CUDA installation is in a non-standard location X,
pass --cuda-root=X to configure.py.

SciKits.cuda:
    Get the tarball (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/scikits.cuda) and unpack it.
    cd scikits.cuda*
    python setup.py install --user

Mako:
    Get the tarball (http://www.makotemplates.org/download.html) and unpack it.
    cd Mako*
    python setup.py install --user

To install system-wide rather than to ~/.local, change the 'setup.py install'
commands to
    sudo python setup.py install
