RE: installing on vista

I have Python 2.5 and win32 extensions on Vista at work, no problems. I have to ask the obvious question... did you download the right win32 installer? There's different ones for Python 2.4 vs. 2.5, etc. - Adam From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of [EMAIL PRO

RE: Creating Installer or Executable in Python

I'd second InnoSetup for Windows installers, it's easy and powerful (and free). However, I don't think it can create actual .MSI files, only .EXE installers. I wish it would create .MSIs, since those are easier to automatically deploy for large user groups. I'm not aware of any free tools for bu

current script path via execfile?

I have an app with an embedded Python interpreter. In that interpreter, I want to use "execfile" (or something similar) to execute a script from disk. The script needs to somehow acquire the full path to itself, but I can't work out how to do this. Since it's run with execfile in the embedded

RE: Extended date and time

The "time" module in the standard library does epoch, and conversions. Get current local time in seconds since epoch (1970): >>> import time >>> now_secs = time.time() >>> print now_secs 1194790069.33 Convert to a struct_time object for conversions: >>> now_struct = time.localtime(now_secs)

Writing TGA image files?

Does anyone have Python code for writing Targa (TGA) image files? Ideally, with options for bit-depth/alpha channel, and RLE compression, but I'm probably reaching there. PIL is read-only for TGAs, unfortunately, and so far I'm striking out on Google. Thanks. -- Adam Pletcher Tec

RE: copy locked files

Do you mean files marked in-use by the OS, like DLLs used by an open application? There shouldn't be anything preventing you from copying in-use files, or even read-only files if that's what you meant: import shutil shutil.copy('C:\\my_application\\test.dll', 'C:\\new_folder\\test.dll') Alth
