Hi Edward.
I have the EPD dist. installed. (Not the Canopy)
(The detailed install instructions, I have specified in the attached text
file.)
I also tried with the winpython dist. yesterday, with the same result.
I am about to try out the win32 distribution of these.
Best

Install python and necessary packages
----------------------------
I recommend to install a python distribution which is packed with several
packages already.
You could consider winpython, and includes Ipython:
https://code.google.com/p/winpython/
I personally use EPD.
If you have a uni mail, the Enthought Python Distribution it is free of charge,
and includes Ipython.
That have solved all my dependency problems since then, and the packages I need
more, I install with pip, or github.
Register at http://www.enthought.com/.
When you have registered, and logged in to the homepage, navigate to
https://www.enthought.com/repo/epd/installers/
Install "EPD", and not the Canopy software. (As of may 2013, Canopy was still
suffering from being quite new.)
Make sure, that the path to python scripts are included in your PATH, which can
be changed in computer Environment Variables.
Include in path: C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts
To install packages:
Open a cmd window.
> easy_install pip
> pip search lmfit
> pip install lmfit
> pip freeze (to see installed packages)
If you have problems, check your path, Write in command
> path
> where python
> where easy_install
----------------------------
Install scons for building
----------------------------
Some packages in EPD, can be a version old. So install the newest scons.
Get the Windows Installer from: http://www.scons.org/download.php
As of May 2013, this was version 2.3
Due to a bug, versions of scons <=2.3 should alter a line in:
C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\scons-2.3.0\SCons\Tool\MSCommon\vc.py
Line 364: if not req_target_platform and target_platform in ('amd64','x86_64'):
Should be: if target_platform in ('amd64','x86_64'):
----------------------------
Install Visual Studio Express 2012
----------------------------
From
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/visual-studio-express-products
Download:
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads#d-express-windows-desktop
Make sure the path to the compiler "cl" is in your PATH.
Include in path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\bin
For a test, start a cmd. And write:
> "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\vcvarsall"
> (Sets variables right)
> cl (Just to test)
----------------------------
Install minfx and Subversion checkout of relax
----------------------------
Download "minfx" from http://download.gna.org/minfx/
Unzip latest version.
In the unpacked folder, hold "Shift", right-click, "Open command window here"
> python setup.py install
Install a subversion client.
For example: http://tortoisesvn.net/
Right click in any folder, and select:
SVN Checkout. Write the path:
svn://svn.gna.org/svn/relax/trunk
svn://svn.gna.org/svn/relax/branches/relax_disp/
----------------------------
Build relax
----------------------------
Navigate to the folder where you have checked out relax
In the folder, hold "Shift", right-click, "Open command window here"
> scons
BUILD PROBLEMS
----------------------------
Coding environment
----------------------------
A lightweight editor, could be pyscripter.
This helps with syntax high-lighting and includes the interpreter.
Install from:
https://code.google.com/p/pyscripter/
Remember to check that indention is set to equal 4 spaces " ", under
Tools/Options/Editor Options
Also set: Run/Python Engine/Remote (Tk) (Matplotlib uses the Tk)
Test that everything is working, for example by this script, and hit the green
play button.
