Re: Installing Cheetah on Windows XP

Hello,

The cmd: "python setup.py install"  did execute in the windows cmd (DOS)
prompt(thank you!).  The installer printed: "Pure Python installation
succeeded"   (with some C extensions failing to build). However, I cannot
pass any of the tests (cheetah test, etc.).

The installation of cheetah created 3 files in the c:\python24\Scripts
directory.  The files are: Cheetah, Cheetah-analyze, and Cheetah-compile.
None of the files are with extensions such as .py or .pyc or pyd.   I
attempted to add extensions such as py, pyc, however, that proved
unsuccessful during testing.  I removed the py or pyc extensions and the
files are identical to the installer generated files.

I also added the file: _namemapper.pyd, in the scripts directory as per the
manual.

I would appreciate your assistance.

Kind regards,

Nick
