Squealer is a framework written in Jython to test your Apache Pig scripts, by Mark Roddy. It's now using jip to resolve Java dependencies. On huge dependencies of Hadoop, jip could be great helpful to setup Squealer.

To get started, it is recommended to create a standalone Jython environment for Squealer: virtualenv -p /usr/local/bin/jython --no-site-packages squealer-env

Activate the environment cd squealer-env . bin/activate

Install jip with pip pip install jip

Download squealer from bitbucket project page, extract it to somewhere. Install it with jip: jython setup.py install

Dependencies will be downloaded from Maven Central. You just wait for it to finish.

Start a Jython interpreter with 'jython-all' and now you can import squealer.
