python 2.6 wininst problem
I just installed Python2.6 on my WinXP box in a non-standard location (not C:\Python26) since I'm not admin. I used cygwin to create a module of an extension I wrote, but when I went to execute the installer, I get a popup error This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application my fix this problem. It turns out that the application installs my module on another machine where python is installed in C:\Python26, but why not in my installation? I went and reinstalled python2.5 in a similar nonstandard location (%USERPROFILE%\Python25) and rebuilt my extension module under that. The module installer worked just fine, so it seems to be a 2.6 issue. Do I now have to get the Helpdesk to install Python for me? TIA. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
install wxPython on windows without admin?
The subject line says it all. Is there a way to install wxPython on a Windows machine without admin privs? I love the way python doesn't need admin to install locally, and I'd like to try wxPython w/o having to get our help desk involved. Do I have to compile it from source with Cygwin?

Select the new key combination e.g. Shift+Ctrl+p and click OK button. If you have not enter any custom keys before, you will get a prompt for a Custom Key Set Name - enter a name and click OK.

Check. I recommend having your own python install if you want a comprehensive approach. Yup. I dropped the src in ~/src/Python-2.5.1, created a ~/py-2.5.1 directory, and did ./configure --prefix=/home/me/py-2.5.1 make make install and it worked fine. The only other step after that was creating a symlink: cd ln -s py-2.5.1 py and adding /home/me/py/bin to my $PATH. Doesn't seem like hyper-paranoid sysadmining is all that efficient, does it? Well, on a server with many other users, they've pretty much gotta keep you confined to your home directory. My issues have been with keeping a ~/pylib directory for extra modules, and reconciling that with setuptools / Easy Install. I'm curious to hear how other folks manage their own local module directory. I just do ./configure --prefix=$HOME;make;make install My PATH has $HOME/bin, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH has $HOME/lib before the system bin and lib directories. Everything works just fine. I do the same thing for everything else I download for personal use when I want to use a more up to date version of what's installed. For Windoze, Python gets installed in C:\Python24 (or C:\Python25 now, I guess) and you don't need admin rights for that.

using pydoc in an application
Hi all, I'm discovering pydoc, and it seems to me that this is a great way to have online documentation for my application. Are there any examples of using this in some kind of help menu in an application? I've tried to just bind pydoc.gui() to a menu item, but this just brings up the GUI for pydoc, and the user still needs to search for the module before the browser comes up, and when I quit serving pydoc.gui(), my application dies along with it. Also, I need to get out of python to use pydoc.gui again, or I get error: (98, 'Address already in use') I'm sure there's a better way to take advantage of this module and my docstrings to get some online help. I'm using Tkinter and Pmw, but maybe it's time to convert all this to wxWidgets? Thanks for any help. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: using pydoc in an application
I went and looked at the pydoc.py code, and it looks like it isn't
really meant to be used from inside another python program. After some
tinkering arond with my code, I ended up with this: (Google is messing
up my indentation)
(in my __init__ function)
...
menuBar.addmenuitem('Help', 'command', '',
command=self.run_pydoc,
label='Run pydoc (module
help GUI)')
...
def run_pydoc(self):
Run pydoc -g for gui based help
if 'linux' in sys.platform:
os.system('pydoc -g')
if 'win32' in sys.platform:
os.system(os.path.join(sys.prefix,
'Tools', 'Scripts',
'pydocgui.pyw'))

A bit of a kludge, but it works for me.

can distutils windows installer invoke another distutils windows installer
Hi all.
I have a package that uses other packages. I created a setup.py to use
'try:' and import to check if some required packages are installed. I
have the tarballs and corresponding windows installers in my sdist
distribution, so if I untar my source distribution and do 'python
setup.py install', the script either untars the subpackages to a tmp
directory and does an os.system('python setup.py install') (Linux), or
os.system(bdist_wininst installer) (win32) for the missing
subpackage.
This seems to work fine, except that on Windows, I can't uninstall the
main package with Windows 'Add or Remove Programs' from the control
panel. If I install my main package with a bdist_winst installer, I
can.
Is there a way to set up a bdist_wininst installer to do what I can do
with the source dist?
Thanks in advance,
