Windows install -- pyparsing

[Charles R. Twardy]

Hi,

I had some trouble getting pebl to work on Windows.

The "easy_install pebl" was failing at pyparsing and other dependencies,
with errors like:

Processing download
error: Couldn't find a setup script in
c:\docume~1\charle~1\locals~1\temp\easy_i
nstall-8gb0ez\download

In the end, I downloaded windows installers for each, and ran them.
Finally, I could run "easy_install pebl".

Not sure what was happening. Maybe multiple Python installs, or having
cygwin around was confusing things.

Hi Charles,

I'm not sure.. I just tested a clean install of pebl (using
virtualenv) on Mac OS X 10.6.2 and it worked fine. For pyparsing,
there are both Windows MSI and source tgz packages on pypi so, it's
not a matter of it not being packaged for Windows. Unfortunately, I
don't have regular access to a Windows machine, so I can't test it
directly.

Also, do keep in mind that when you use easy_install, it pulls the
latest *released* version of pebl, which will not be the same as the
latest in the svn trunk.

Thanks,
Abhik.
