Actually it was quite simple to install under a local $HOME directory. I simply added the file $HOME/.pydistutils.cfg with the following contents:

Code:
[easy_install]

install_dir = /home/proxy/python/python-libs

and all the installed files appeared under /home/proxy/python/python-libs.

Thanks! Looks good. I should be able to pick up some configuration examples from there.

Well, maybe not that bad: cloning a couple git repo's and adding them using sys.path.append and then it was at least running.

Not simple to set up though...

The system I have in mind is somewhat limited so I would prefer a small application. I will not use the install scripts, but rather try to install the required Python packages below a plain user $HOME directory.

Thanks. I'll look into that, even though "python-dev" is probably some Ubuntu or other distro related package. Hopefully it should be possible to install the individual packages locally rather than changing the global installation...
It just runs on python, but the setup script downloads a bunch of packages (eg twisted). There was a recent thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=194472.0;all where someone was having problems with the install due to not running apt-get update and apt-get install python-dev. This is just FYI as you're clearly pretty clued-up with linux stuff.

That's what I had in mind when I said "simple to set up". Full blown Apache, MySQL and PHP is not exactly simple to set up. I was hoping for something more light weight. However, if that's the only miner proxy available then I just have to give it a try...


A LAMP setup is pretty straight forward imo but maybe I'm too geeky. There is even a WINLAMP installer for Windows fans.

Hmm, from the readme at https://github.com/cdhowie/Bitcoin-mining-proxy  ...

Requirements

Apache (2.2 or newer recommended).
PHP 5.3 or newer.
MySQL (5.1 or newer recommended for best performance).

Instead I'd suggest https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining-proxy which just needs python-dev on linux (and would appear to run stand-alone on windows according to the readme).

Are there any simple to set up mining proxy's available?

Is it possible to use a plain web proxy like squid for mining?
