SFM Python Module Pack [Beta!]

**Please Read Before Subscribing/Installing!**

This "script" adds a bunch of Python modules that you can use in the making of your own scripts. Aside from the fancy Jupyter console, this is not useful to the average SFM'er on its own.

If you have any questions or bug reports, feel free to start a discussion in the "Discussions" tab as the "comments" section is awkward for support!

Main reason for this pack's existence is it can be really painful to install some of this stuff, especially the stuff that needs to be compiled, and this should take some of the pain out of using those modules. You should also be able to add this as a "required item" for your workshop scripts too, though make sure your users know about the small install step needed for this to work!

You'll be able to get to the Jupyter console in the "Windows" menu, near where you get to the Script Editor. There's a screenshot above that shows where.

I also take suggestions for additional Python modules to include in this pack, just starting out basic while I iron out knots in the installation and upgrade process!

# Installation

After you add this script to your SFM, you need to do one more thing to get it working. In the "Scripts" dropdown at the top of SFM, click on "install python pack" and it will extract a zip file and add a ".pth" file which allows SFM's Python to see the modules.

# Uninstallation

After unsubscribing, delete these locations:

* {YOUR SFM FOLDER}\game\sdktools\python\python-pack
* {YOUR SFM FOLDER}\game\sdktools\python\2.7\win32\Lib\site-packages\python-pack.pth

# What this adds to your SFM

* The IPython/Jupyter Console - very handy for playing around with SFM's Python functions!
* Adds the missing "PySide.QtSvg" module which the Jupyter console needs
* PyZMQ, which the Jupyter console needs
* Cython - if you'd like to be able to use it and the cython IPython magic, you'll need to install Visual C++ 2010 Express:

* NumPy
* Enaml, a fancy GUI library
* Atom and Kiwi solver, which is needed by Enaml
