On Windows, I am trying to start Aspen by issuing the 'aspen' command.
Below is the sequence of commands:
c:\gheat-0.2>python
Python 2.5.4...
Type "help"...
>>> import aspen
>>> aspen
<module 'aspen' from
'c:\python25\lib\site-packages\aspen-0.8-py2.5.egg\aspen
\__init__.pyc'>
So instead of starting the server, Python simply reports the location
of the module. How can I start Aspen on Windows?
Also, am I correct in understanding the concept of a home directory in
Aspen? Can any directory be designated a home directory simply by
issuing the aspen command from within it? Or must a home directory be
placed within the aspen/apps directory? Must I name a home directory
similar to www.example.com?
Thanks,
Mike

You need to run the aspen script from the Windows command-line. This script is installed when you install aspen, I believe into C:\Python25\Scripts. What you've done instead is to run Python from the windows command-line, and then baldly assert the aspen module (kind of a no-op).
Try:
C:\> python c:\python25\scripts\aspen.bat
Or something like that ... I'll get aspen set up here on Windows and then I can help you further. But that should point you in the right direction.

Yes, bingo.
