I'm new to Python and I'm trying to install web2py in a virtualenv. I'm
running a 32 bit python 2.7.3 installation on a 64 bit Windows 7.
>From what I read, this should be the process:
- install virtualenv (done)
- create the virtualenv (done)
- install pywin32 in that env (I've read it needs to be installed before
the web2py installation)
- install web2py in that env
First and foremost: is that right? If so, then...
I tried installing pywin32 through
'''easy_install pywin32-218.win32-py2.7.exe'''
It went fine. Then, I checked the virtual environment's site-packages for a
pywin32 folder and it was there, but I couldn't import it into python
('''ther's no module pywin32'''). The environment was definitely active (I
double-checked).
As a test, without using virtualenv, I double-click-installed the pywin32
binary (downloaded the 32 bit version for python 2.7 --
pywin32-218.win32-py2.7.exe) but got an error at the end:
'''close failed in file object destructor:
sys.excepthook is missing
lost sys.stderr'''
I downloaded the file again (could be corrupted), tried installing it again
but got the same result.
Could anybody guide me or point me to a step-by-step install of pywin32 (if
necessary) and then web2py for windows 7? I'd really appreciate it.
