Pythonwin

Hi

I am trying to use Python with ArcGIS.

I have installed Python 2.4. I have an icon for IDLE and command line.
I do not see Python PythonWin.

How do you install or launch pythonwin??

Thanks

There is a distribution of PythonWin bundled with the
ArcGIS Desktop installation media, but it is not
installed by the ArcGIS installer.

You have three options:
1. Install it manually from the ArcGIS installation
media.
2. Find it on the web (google for it), download and
install.
3. (My recommendation) Don't bother. IDLE is pretty
good. Emacs even better (unless you hate emacs).

Not related (except that it is about python and ArcGIS): Remember you
can set PYTHONINSPECT to enter interactive mode at the end of a
script. With a script set as an ArcGIS tool, you can then enter
interactive to play around or debug with all the ArcGIS stuff loaded.

Is there a better way people do this?

I have PythonWin installed in my Start Menu --Programs --Python
2.5. I may have installed the ActiveState version though. Just check
if it's there on your system and if not, you can follow Niklas's
advice.

Hi all

I downloaded (from Python) and installed python-2.4.4.msi

I have python and pythonw.exe in the Python 24 folder (but not in my
start menu).
When I click on the pythonw.exe it is not launched??

Thanks

You need to install the same version on your pc, if you have 2.5 already installed you need to download 2.5 pythonwin from http://sourceforge.net

Hope it will work for you.
Thanks

pythonw.exe is NOT PythonWin - it's a consoleless version of the standard Python interpreter.
PythonWin is part of the pywin32 package that you can download from https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ (make sure you get the right version)

Hi, I have python 2.2.3 + pythonwin 156 on win2k. The problem is that german chars like äöüÄÖÜß are not handled correctly. Just create a test.py file with the content äöüÄÖÜß and edit it with pythonwin. In the editor you will see only äöüÄ . I had the problem in the past, wrote it to mark and he fixed it.

I've un-installed Python 2.4, re-installed Python 2.3 and PythonWin for 2.3, but it's still broke. When I start PythonWin, sometimes it looks like it is going to be okay. But as soon as I open a .py file, the interactive window grabs the focus and will not let go. I am stumped. Is there something PythonWin uses that I could try re-installing? WxPython maybe?

I've been having a problem with PythonWin that seemed to start completely spontaneously and I don't even know where to START to find the answer. The only thing I can think of that marks the point between "PythonWin works fine" and "PythonWin hardly every works fine" was that I changed the size of my Virtual Paging file, noticing that it was too small (I currently have a P4 with 1G of RAM). I tried returning it to its original (smaller)...

Hi All, (sorry for my bad english) I wrote a __tiny__ and __stupid__ recursive script directly into pythonwin interactive window with a time.sleep(1) and a print before each recursion...

Does anyone else have a problem with Pythonwin crashing after running a python script with graphics libraries? Whenever I use Pythonwin to run a PyGame or PyOgre script, Pythonwin crashes when the script exits. I know it's probably because the Pythonwin interpreter can't read from the console once the graphics mode has been changed, but has anyone discovered a workaround? I'd like to know if this problem is specific to my machine, or if...
