Hello World:

[Hendrik du Toit]

I just cannot get the examples going on Windows.  I have two problems:
1.  I installed the virtual environment on D:.  It complains that the mount is on d: but C; is the default and fails.  If I install it on c:, 

2.  When I try top browsw to http://localhost:8000 it give the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi Hendrik,

Could you try to downgrade setuptools, and then see if you still get an issue?

pip install setuptools==40.7.3

Why? It seems since the releases after 40.7.3 of setuptools, (since 40.8.0), has introduced a Windows path separators are straight-up disallowed issue.

It is only a Deprecation warning on Linux(what I use), but not the same for Windows.

Regards,

Craig.

Hello Graig
