Python - Twisted Non-Admin Installation |

Hello,
I downloaded the Win32 installer for Twisted 1.3.0, Python 2.3. The installer, when executed under my login, fails as it requires administrator rights to install (why they have it as a requirement, I don't understand). So I started the installer as the admin user. That too failed because I have a non-admin install of Python 2.3 on my machine and when I launch the Twisted installer as admin, it is unable to find a Python installation for the admin user! So, can someone let me know how I can install Twisted as a non-admin user for a non-admin installation of Python? Installing from source is not an option as I do not have MSVC. Thank you, --Kartic Kartic |

BTW, I googled using some keywords and found nothing that would solve
my problem. I could also not find a searchable version of the twisted mailing list. Kartic |

Thanks. Does this mean I have to upgrade python 2.3.3 to python 2.4 in
order to get this working? Kartic |

Yeah, the instruction are for using MSVC 7.1, which is what 2.4 is build with. 2.3.x is built with MSVC 6.x. That's no longer even commercially available. There may be a way to do what you want without upgrading the python. I'm not a Windows user, but happened to note that URL in passing, and posted it to be helpful. I'd wait until after the holiday to see if anyone has instructions that avoid having to upgrade Python unless you want to upgrade anyway. Doing so will require rebuilding all your .dll extensions, though. At least - on Unix upgrading from 2.x to 2.(x+1) requires reinstalling all extensions. <mike -- Mike Meyer <> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Mike - I took the lazy route out.
Since the Twisted installer complained about not finding python for admin, I exported the registry keys that Python installed my userid and imported those registry entries back under the admin login. This made it appear that there was indeed a Python install under admin. Twisted bought that and installed as Admin! (Though I am not entire happy about installing it as admin, this should do it for now) Thank you for your efforts to help. --Kartic Kartic |

Then remove yourself from the Administrators group. This should let you install, but wether it leaves twisted in a usable (by a non administrator) state, I don't know. Also AIUI twisted have a mailing list of there own, the link http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mai...twisted-python is on there home page: http://twistedmatrix.com Rob. -- http://www.victim-prime.dsl.pipex.com/ Rob Williscroft |
