Hi Noel, Thanks for the feedback.
Sorry for the slow response to this and your comments on the wiki page; I was out of town this weekend.

Yes; the test suite assumes on windows that Python is in c:\python25 or that you have PYTHONHOME set properly; I need to add this to the wiki. > Seems to be due to spaces in the name again. > It's a pretty crazy test suite so I wasn't able to dig too > deep...here's an example error message: > """ > C:\Documents and Settings\Noel\Desktop\Tools\RDKit\trunk\Code>set > PYTHONHOME=C:\Program Files\Python25 > > C:\Documents and Settings\Noel\Desktop\Tools\RDKit\trunk\Code>python > ..\Python\TestRunner.py test_list.py > C:\Program: can't open file 'Files\Python25\python.exe': [Errno 2] No such > file > or directory > C:\Program: can't open file 'Files\Python25\python.exe': [Errno 2] No such > file > or directory > """ > If I put quotation marks around the PYTHONHOME directory, it fouls up > Python itself, and won't start up properly (the error message is > "cannot import os") hmm, that's irritating. It also looks to be at least partially a python problem, not an RDKit problem. Maybe this is why the default installation path for python is c:\python25? -greg
