In fact it's easier to find than on OS X (IMO) :) I think we do need to make *some* assumptions in the developer docs that the reader is actually a developer (who would know where cmd is) and not a first-time user of the OS, otherwise it becomes a computer users guide and not a development guide. ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

On Thu, 06 Jan 2011 00:34:11 -0500 python -m test works (until it failed, separate issue). This will not run the right interpreter, unless this is an installed build. It is, from 32b2.msi. I have no compiler ;-). Ah, sorry. For the devguide, however, I recommend assuming an uninstalled up-to-date build, since keeping fresh sources is the most productive way (or the least frustrating) way of contributing. Note that, if you're willing to give it a try, Microsoft Visual Studio Express is a free download (free as in beer).
