I downloaded Mark Pilgrims's feedparser.py in a zipfile to my Windows
machine, unzipped it and tried to install it to no avail.
Here is the result =>
C:\>python c:\scripts\feed parser-4.1\setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_py
file feedparser.py (for module feedparser) not found
running install_lib
warning: install_lib: 'build\lib' does not exist -- no Python modules
to install
running install_egg_inf o
Writing C:\Python25\Lib \site-packages\feedpa rser-4.1-py2.5.egg-info
WTF? The file feedparser.py did exist in the same place as setup.py.
Even if it works, what exactly does this setup.py do for me? If I just
manually place feedparser.py in my Python site-packages file it works
fine. As for that egg-info file, I googled "python eggs" and now I am
really confused.

The convention is to run setup.py from the current directory, unless
instructed otherwise; what did the package's readme say? Try:
cd \scripts\feedpa rser-4.1
python setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_py
file feedparser.py (for module feedparser) not found
running install_lib
warning: install_lib: 'build\lib' does not exist -- no Python modules

In general, a setup.py install may do lots of things besides coping 1
file. Manually placing files in site-packages is not a good habit to
get into.

really confused.
Eggs are part of a new experimental package distribution scheme. Don't
worry about it.
Cheers,

Yes. "Eggs" are connected to an "easy install" system which has
an annoying tendency to either fail or silently do the wrong thing.
They were an attempt to apply the "packaging" mania of Java to Python.
Fortunately, ".egg" files are actually ".zip" files, so you can
rename them, unpack them, and get at the good parts.

Hi,
I have a strange problem.
I´m developing a small python-program wiht the mysql-python-module.
The program should run on a server without any mysql-installation.
Is there any posibility to "kompile" a python with static libaries?
thanx

All,
I've written a "setup" wrapper that calls a sequence of "setup.exe", and
all works except when I call the setup.exe for the MSDE, then it gets about
half way through and then hangs... The MSDE setup works fine from a CMD
prompt... anyone know of articles or known issues with this technique, and
what are my alternatives to having my user install several "Commandline
parameter intensive" setups to get this installed? :)

Hello,
Let me start by saying that I am coming from a background using Matlab
(or Octave), and C++. I am going to outline the basic nuts-and-bolts
of how I work in these languages, and ask for some help to find out how
the same thing is done in Python. I am not sure what the standard is.
In C++, I open up an editor in one window, a Unix shell in another. I
write the code in the editor, then switch to the shell window for
compile...

Hey All,
I have created an application and an installer for it using Visual
Studios "Setup and Deployment" project template. It works great (for
the simplicity that I require) except that it doesn't allow multiple
instances.
The user needs to be able to install 1 or more copies of the program on
to their computer (in different directories).

Hi there,
I cannot use "setup /i xx" to install DB2 Client
(v9fp2_win_client.zip) on Win XP SP2. The installation process was
stopped at the page "Select the languages to install".
But use "setup" to install DB2 Client in defualt language is ok.
Does anyone experience that?

Hi,
Is there some way to get a list of "impure" Python modules/extensions
from PyPI? I know the mySQL module is a good example, but I am
working on creating some decent instructions on how to create Windows
installers from impure modules and am having a hard time finding them.
Thanks!

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.
Here is my compilation command:
