Solved! (though with a wrinkle) I went ahead and installed Visual Studio 2008 and ran the easy install from a vs2008 shell (i.e., ran C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat in the shell before the easy install). simplejson _was_ able to install, I

Agreed on all counts. In _my_ case the problem was a setup bug when simplejson can't find the cl.exe compiler on windows (as posted here previously.) Tibor Arpas wrote: Vista and extensions for simplejson and other libraries give me headaches all the time too. Anyway. I think the

I might try to tackle this once I get through some higher order business. No promises, though. Bob Ippolito wrote: If someone submits a patch to simplejson to resolve any of these stupid Windows issues, it will be accepted. I don't personally care for Windows so I don't test it there, the

Also note that I had success getting past the simplejson prob by installing a Msft C++ compiler, such as the free Visual Studio C++ Express (http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/) and running the installer in a shell with vsvars32.bat setup. See the thread

I'm going through the tutorials under 0.9.7. The Flickr tutorial says config/middleware.py should have javascripts_app = StaticJavascripts() ... app = Cascade([static_app, javascripts_app, app]) and a /javascripts/effects.js file. Neither are there. I read the What's new in Pylons 0.9.7? at

That .6 vs .7 status list is very helpful, esp for a Pylons newbie struggling with documentation which is part .6 and part .7, thanks. Are there any docs or examples for the new .7 helpers? I want to work towards the Pylons 1.0 Factory approved usage for helpers and templating, but am

I didn't have the beta docs url, looks like there's enough to get me going with the intrinsic helpers. I like the Pylons platform a lot already, and have only done minor experiments. When everything is ironed out, it's really gonna rock. Great project! Rod
