Built windows installers and Cygwin

A SPE user reported this on the SPE users forum
(http://developer.berlios.de/forum/me...msg_id=21944):
My setup is as follows:
SPE-0.7.5
Python 2.4 (from the Cygwin packages)

Installer does not continue. "No Python installation found in the registry".

Are there other workarounds for this issue?


The SPE installer is a standard Python built installer made with:
python setup.py bdist_wininst

Is there any way for these kind of installers to be used with cygwin.
The installer creates also shortcuts in the start menu, which is only
possible with built installers without requiring win32 extensions.

No. The bdist_wininst packages link against Microsoft's C library;
the cygwin Python against Cygwin's.

If there is no native code in the package, it would be possible to
*use* them - installing them still won't work. To use them, unzip
them, and spread the files as you see fit.

Martin

Hello all. We don't have admin privs on our Windows boxes, but I'd like to be able to install a package built using distutils. I was able to install Python without admin, but when I tried to run the installer for this package I'm trying to install, I get a message saying that I need admin privs. Is there a way around this? Why can't it just put things in C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages like a good little installer?

I need to unpack on a Windows 2000 machine some Wikipedia media .tar archives which are compressed with TAR 1.14 (support for long file names and maybe some other features) . It seems, that Pythons tarfile module is able to list far more files inside the archives than WinRAR or 7zip or TotalCommander, but will it unpack all available files (largest archive size 17 GByte)? If tarfile is build on TAR 1.14 or TAR 1.15 it will be

I'm now using Cygwin as my compiler for C code. I use Dev-c++ as my editor. The reason why I chose Cygwin compiler instead of the compiler that came with Dev-C++ is that I believe it uses the same environment as in Linux, so that I don't have to write different sourcecode for both OS. Eventhough, I don't understand about Linux much, and I'm still a beginner in programming, I still have to make my program compatible with both OS (Windows...

The output for NET START is below as well. The Services list in the W2K administrator...

Hi everyone, which compiler will Python 2.5 on Windows (Intel) be built with? I notice that Python 2.4 apparently has been built with the VS2003 toolkit compiler, and I read a post from Scott David Daniels where he said that probably the VS2003 toolkit will be used for Python 2.5 again. However, even before the release of Python 2.5, I cannot seem to find many retailers around here that still carry Visual Studio 2003, and some were a...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
