I just tested this on top of a bare EPD install, and once I commented out the old cython egg path from the easy-install.pth file, it worked just fine. So tomorrow I'll publicize it to the attendees. > I'll take this opportunity to come with a request: If somebody with easy > access to Windows would like to be responsible for Windows packaging of > Cython that would be great (as none of the core devs run Windows) -- it > seems that David Cournapeau has already done the dirty work, so that it > would likely just be about running his scripts for every Cython release and > test that things work properly. By the way, David did this on a wine setup he has on his Mac laptop in just a couple of minutes! So it seems that once you have the right setup, it's not a huge deal. Dag, since you'll get to meet David next week at scipy, perhaps you can get this set up as well so any of you can pump these out easily at release time, without needing a windows box (it can apparently be done on either Macs or linux, though I have yet to do it myself). In any case, thanks again to David C for his help with this!
