Windows Installation

 

Hi All,

I had not realized  that the Windows install FAQ was (virtually) without
text until today.  Fortunately,  Luciana has spent her Sunday taking
care of that issue.  You will find a nice step-by-step  Windows
installation guide here:

One word of warning.  If you use the Python Windows installer then you
will have a Python.exe that was built with Visual Studio.  That means
that any other C code you need to compile (Like the DSE) will need to
use Visual Studio.   So "it might be worthwhile" for you to consider
compiling your own Python.exe using whichever (MinWG, etc.) C compiler
you plan to use in all your Python projects.

I understand there may be work around options using CygWin and special
switches on setup.py but I haven't the time nor patience to learn them
right now.  I just use Linux for the simplicity of it all.  :-)

Cheers,
Tim
