I'm interested in writing a small app - or attempting to ;) - which
will involve using the eyeD3 python module to process id3 tags of a
given set of files.

There are source downloads as well as downloads for various linux
distros, which is fine. However I also might want to work on this in
XP. I'm not sure how to install this on a Windows system. The install
instructions in the source code download describe the normal
./configure, make, make install which I've used several times before
when installing stuff on my home linux box, but I'm not sure these
will work on my Xp system.

Any pointers on how to go about installing this module? There's a file
called 'setup.py.in' as well. Not sure what that does..


Hi Richard,

   It seems that the setup.py.in  and the setup.py are exact  the same each
for the version variable. The setup.py.in is from which the setup.py module
is generated in the configure process. And the setup.py will be used in the
make install process.

   The easiest way of getting it to work on XP is to download cygwin and
run it in that. Another option is that you could hand run the make file.
There doesn't seem to be any files that need to be compiled, so you would be
ok there.

   Other than that. Good Luck.

HTH,
Tino
