Hi All -
I had a bit of a problem installing Kamaelia 0.6.0 under Windows, and
I thought I'd pass along my experience.
I'm using Python 2.6.1 on Windows XP Service Pack 3.
* Kamaelia appears to require setuptools to install. Setuptools
doesn't have a Windows installer for 2.6, so I installed from source
using python setup.py install. Not a big deal, but still a touch
clumsy.
* Once setuptools was installed, I tried "easy_install Kamaelia".
This resulted in the following stack trace:
...
byte-compiling build\bdist.win32\egg\Kamaelia\__init__.py to
__init__.pyc

running install_data

raise ValueError, "path '%s' cannot be absolute" % pathname
ValueError: path '/usr/local/share/kamaelia' cannot be absolute
Installing Kamaelia from source (python setup.py install) gave me the
same error.
The problem appears to be the following line in setup.py:
data_files=[ ('/usr/local/share/kamaelia', ['App/
kamaelia_logo.png']) ],
I changed this to:
data_files=[ ('share/kamaelia', ['App/kamaelia_logo.png']) ],
and it seemed to work (it place the logo under the egg directory in
share/kamaelia).
Is anyone using Kamaelia under Windows in production? I'm evaluating
it for this purpose and any feedback would be helpful. Thanks!
Miles
