quick windows test needed

[donkyhotay]

I've recently fixed a few bugs and also changed the way MoonPy saves
files. Until now everything was stored in the main tether folder but now
it will create a .tether folder in the users home folder and then store
everything in there. This is to allow all users on a computer have their
own personalized settings and also for MoonPy to (eventually) be
installed globally on a system without requiring administrative access
to run all the time (trying to save to a protected folder). It works
just fine under linux and should *theoretically* work fine on windows
and osX as well. I'm not too concerned about osX because the file
structure is so similar to linux but windows file structure is a whole
other issue. I've researched this online, consulted with zaak and I'm
99% certain it will work with windows as well but I'd appreciate anyone
with a windows based system confirming it for me. All I really need is
for someone to simply launch the latest SVN copy, upon reaching the main
menu quit, then confirm there is a new folder/directory within your home
folder called '.tether' and that the MoonPy.log and settings.cfg files
are located within it. If the files are there then it means there are no
problems with windows compatibility.

It doesn't start on windows, I'm getting the next error:

Thanks, I was afraid something like this might happen with the changes I
made. I've created an issue and will investigate it. I did confirm there
are no problems launching MoonPy on my system (running ubuntu/linux).

That bug was a little bit confusing because it was on line36 which is
well before where the changes in the savefiles I made takes place. I
then noticed you're running python 3.1 on this system. MoonPy is being
built for 2.x and specifically for 2.6.x, your prompt says you have
python 3.1 installed which breaks backwards compatibility with python
2.x on all OS's. Try running it with python2.6 specifically and tells me
if it works then. I'm going to try adding a version check to give a
specific error when attempting to use python 3.x or higher.

My apologies (first time I try to run pymoon on windows)
I'm now getting a different error: http://i.imagehost.org/0482/error_5.png
Thats on windows XP SP3 (32bit) & python 2.6.4

[donkyhotay]

I tried running MoonPy with python 3.1 and received the same error you
did so this was definitely caused by python version mismatch. I just
added in an error check to prevent this. MoonPy will now quit and tell
you that you have an incompatible version of python if you try using it
with 3.0 and higher or 2.4 and lower.

[donkyhotay]

Yeah, thats what I was afraid of. That error is from the pathing code I
recently added. I'll start working on it however I will need help
testing since I don't own a windows based computer.

[donkyhotay]

Ok, I modified the code so that it should be compatible with the windows
file structure. I would appreciate it if someone with a windows system
were to verify it works correctly for me.

Seems to work.

I got a report back from mightily that the most recent version of MoonPy
runs under windows again and also saves the settings and logfiles within
the users home folder.
