I'm running Pylons 9.6 under vista 64bit on Python 2.6 64bit. To say it has been a mission to get it working is somewhat of an understatement.
Setuptools / easy install is broken under 64bit windows - the exe files it ships with are 32bit and therefore spit blood when trying to execute [i.e. easy_install.exe does not work]. In the end I hacked dist_utils [as this wasn't finding the correct compiler] and relied on this and manually building and installing from source, pylons and it's dependencies. Next problem was that paste.exe suffers from the same problems, I'm having to directly run paster_script.py which functions in exactly the same way [same commands and switches etc]. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:pylons- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Ongerth > Sent: 18 November 2008 07:35 > To: pylons-discuss > Subject: Re: Pylons and Python 2.6 (Was: Re: go-pylons.py broken on > Python 2.6 in Windows?) > > > Correction: the point at which easy_installing Pylons errored out was > during the installation of simpleJSON.
