Re: [Webware-discuss] Installing Webware

Many thanks. I followed your advice and it works. Your support exceeded my expectation. However, understanding Webware is critical for me in using python on the web. Is there excellent documentation and numerous examples on Webware? I have looked at what is available on Webware website and not sure that will enable me to understand the product to develop production quality product. Your insight on this topic is very much appreciated.   Maru ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben Parker To: Mulugeta Maru Cc: 'Webware' Sent: Sunday, March 14, 2004 11:20 PM Subject: RE: [Webware-discuss] Installing Webware These statements should be run in your computer's command shell, not the python shell. The "$" is not part of the statement, it is the prefix displayed in the example command shell.   If you are running Windows (sounds like you are?), command shell means "DOS Prompt". You need to open a DOS command shell by running "cmd" or "command" depending on your Windows OS. Then "cd" to the directory into which you unpacked Webware and run "python install.py".   If none of the above makes sense, search google for a tutorial on the command shell for your operating system. You need to get up to speed on that before you attempt installing and configuring Webware.   The other install.py file you found has nothing to do with Webware - it's just a similarly named file in the Python distro. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Mulugeta Maru Sent: Sunday, March 14, 2004 8:48 PM To: Choe, Cheng-Dae; 'Webware' Subject: Re: [Webware-discuss] Installing Webware Why I type either $ python install.py or python install.py I get the following error:   >>> $ python install.py SyntaxError: invalid syntax >>>   There are two install.py files in two different directories:   Python23\Lib\distutils\command   and   Webware   I thought we have to run the install.py that is found in Webware. May be I am missing something. Do I have to integrate Python and Webware to talk to each other.   Regards,   Maru ----- Original Message ----- From: Choe, Cheng-Dae To: 'Mulugeta Maru' ; 'Webware' Sent: Sunday, March 14, 2004 8:59 PM Subject: RE: [Webware-discuss] Installing Webware no.. Just type python install.py on shell prompt.   $ python install.py   Such as above. If you want make working directory. Just type on shell prompt   $ python bin/MakeAppWorkDir ....     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mulugeta Maru Sent: Monday, March 15, 2004 12:01 PM To: Webware Subject: [Webware-discuss] Installing Webware I am not sure what I have to do when it says that "Run python install.py". Does it me open install.py using the Python Shell and run it?   How about creating a working directory. It says "python bin/MakeAppWorkDir.py /path/to/workdir". Is it the same as opening MakeAppWorkDir.py using Python Shell and run it?   Regards,   Maru
