You know, I just reinstalled Eyed3, and compared the installed result to the six files distributed in the zipped tarfile, and they're identical except that one file is named __init__.py.in instead of __init__.py, and has two doc variables defined with templates. If you want to avoid having to install a Unix-like environment, I suggest you just 1) unzip and untar the zipped tarfile, 2) copy the eyeD3 directory from eyeD3-0.6.16/src/ to Python's Lib/site-packages/ directory 3) rename __init__.py.in to __init__.py 4) (probably cosmetic) in __init__.py, edit the lines: eyeD3Version = "@PACKAGE_VERSION@"; eyeD3Maintainer = "@PACKAGE_BUGREPORT@"; to: eyeD3Version = "0.6.16"; eyeD3Maintainer = "Travis Shirk <tra...@pobox.com>"; Someone else will now explain why this is a terrible idea. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
