That's the setup.py for an external lib that we use for our * self.super() functionality.

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: * > * > Can I now delete those two folders and start "fresh" a Dabo install? * * Absolutely. It is your computer after all, and you are entitled to do * whatever you like, no matter what Microsoft wants you to believe! :) * * HTH * Paul * --
Please take me one step back. I don't have any "subversion" subdirectory anywhere. On what event or process does this directory get created. What do I install other than tortoiseSVN (I'm blind and following instructions by sound and touch), I'm not really confortable with any of this... :(. After I take this step back, I will return to the Dabo installation, which I removed already.
