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. * * * * * * > the same command and I get messaged: * * * > Traceback (most recent call last): * * * > File "setup.py", line 30, in <module> * * * > from Pyrex.Distutils import build_ext * * * > ImportError: No module named Pyrex.Distutils * * * * * * ...autosuper apparently requires Pyrex, but again this is * * * moot since you don't want to install autosuper. * * * * * * * * * > Before today when following other instructions I managed to * * * get the Dabo and * * * > the DaboUI get that check mark on the directory folders. * * * * * * 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: * * * > * * * > 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. * * * * Pablo * * ===== * * I found subversion 1.4.3 and installed it. Now I have the "subversion" * directory under the "program files" directory. I added the * location of "c:\program files\subversion\bin" as you * indicated. Actually I had already added it but apparently the * instructions got redirected to the tortoiseSVN, and perhpas * that was one of the reasons why I could not install dabo * earlier. In any case... Now I will go to the most recent * dabo, dabo demo and daboui... OK? * * Pablo * ===== Dabo has been installed. I have 'version':'0.9a','revision 3234'
What would the commands be for the demo and for the ui? Whew! Taking these few steps has not returned my vision, but I am feeling my way around better than when I went with that tortoise.. ;) Pablo ===== _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-dev This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/dabo-dev/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
