windmill.settings not found

when i ran:

easy_install -U windmill

the only warnings were:

***************************************************************************
WARNING: The C extension could not be compiled, speedups are not
enabled.
Failure information, if any, is above.
I'm retrying the build without the C extension now.
***************************************************************************

but when i tried to instantiate WindmillTestClient, i got this error:

You can't just instantiate WindmillTestClient without getting the rest
of windmill up and running first, the framework needs to get
bootstrapped first.

If you do this from the Python shell it'll work:

from windmill.authoring import setup_module, WindmillTestClient
from windmill.conf import global_settings

global_settings.START_FIREFOX = True
setup_module(sys.modules[__name__])
x = WindmillTestClient()

thanks, that worked. what should i do to open a page?

>>> client = WindmillTestClient(__name__)
>>> client.open('http://www.example.com')

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

TypeError: __call__() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

the reason i need to do this in code is that my site opens a link in a
new window, and windmill doesnt seem to capture my clicks in that new
window. is there a way to tell it to switch to the new window?

thanks, john
