Today I wanted to toy a bit with the new release, yet something went wrongius. Whenever I want to call upon some python script. For instance if I tried the HELP section , or tried some import script all I got was an error to check the console. The console informs me it cannot find module <calledModuleName>

So I reverted back to 2.43, nothing wrong.

I am on a win machine, core2duo with the new C++ extension installed. And naturally I checked to see if corresponding module was in the directory.

Im no coding expert(I tried my hand at it, and failed miserably ;) ), but did you make sure to upgrade to Python Version 2.5?


Just something to check.....

Yeah, well I checked and I see "python25.dll" in the directory. I assume that is python 2.5

Still same problem, managed to cut & paste the exact error :

Compiled with Python version 2.5.
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Checking for installed Python... No installed Python found.
Only built-in modules are available. Some scripts may not run.
Continuing happily.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 39, in <module>
ImportError: No module named webbrowser

Cannot believe I missed that line. So I dont have python installed, yet it is in the directory.

That file is not a python 'installation'. To make use of all scripts you need to download and install full python seperately.

I'm assuming you're on standard Windows, so you can download what you need directly from here (http://python.org/ftp/python/2.5.1/python-2.5.1.msi).

Otherwise, visit this page (http://python.org/download/) for other OS options.

Yup, that did the trick...strange, I never had to install python before.

Thanks everyone! :thumbsup:

I like this Python distribution by ActiveState (http://www.activestate.com/products/activepython/), it not only has python install but win32 extensions as well.
