Where did you get this dabo directory from? Subversion? Nightly Tarball?
Other? I ask because it sounds like you don't have the top-level dabo
directory, the one with the following files and subdirs:
sol:~/dabo pmcnett$ ll

No! That's the setup.py for an external lib that we use for our
self.super() functionality. It installs autosuper into your python's
site-packages, not dabo.

...autosuper apparently requires Pyrex, but again this is moot since you
don't want to install autosuper.

I have no clue what you mean by "that check mark". :) Oh, aha! Are you
using TortoiseSVN? If so, wipe out your c:\projects\dabo directory and
start all over again. Please follow along at the command line. Once you
get the checkout correct, you can use Tortoise to keep updated if you
are more comfortable with it. Here are the steps I want you to take:
1) Add the subversion binary path to your Windows system path. For me,
this is:
c:\program files\subversion\bin
To add it to the path, go to control panel|system|advanced|environment
variables and in the system variables section, dbl-click "path". Now
append ";c:\program files\subversion\bin\" to your current path and
accept it. Close any open command windows and open a new one. Verify
that the svn command can be found:
C:\>svn --version
svn, version 1.4.2 (r22196)
compiled Nov 3 2006, 16:53:07
2) clear away your old dabo directories e.g.:
rmdir /s c:\projects\dabo
rmdir /s c:\python25\lib\site-packages\dabo*
3) use subversion to check out dabo to c:\projects:
c:
cd c:\projects
svn checkout https://svn.dabodev.com/dabo/trunk dabo
4) now, leave that directory alone. Don't issue the 'python setup.py
install' since you are using subversion and as such would probably like
to keep updated more easily. Instead, locate your python's site-packages
directory (probably c:\python25\lib\site-packages) and add a file there
named dabo.pth (make sure windows doesn't call it dabo.pth.txt and then
hide that fact from you) that has as its contents a single line:
c:\projects\dabo
5) test it out:
c:
python
import dabo
print dabo.version
> Now the question:
>

Absolutely. It is your computer after all, and you are entitled to do
whatever you like, no matter what Microsoft wants you to believe! :)
