I just tried a clean installation of the new package and lilypond itself
works
like a charm. However, I couldn't manage to run python. For example, I would
expect /Program Files/LilyPond/usr/bin/python2.4.exe in a command window
to start the interpreter, but it seems that the command doesn't do
anything at all.
On the other hand, I just tried John Mandereau's hints:
- Install the latest stable version of Python from python.org/download using
there Windows installer.
- Add .PY to the PATHEXT variable (if you just want to try it in a command
window, simply do
set PATHEXT=%PATHEXT%;.PY
otherwise do the setting in Control Panel -> System -> Advanced
-> Environment variables -> System variables)
- Add <LilyPond installation directory>\usr\bin\to your PATH
Then, you can run convert-ly without problems, for example:
convert-ly -e myfile.ly
However, midi2ly fails with "ImportError: No module named midi"
and lilypond-book has some problems when it calls latex on the temporary
file.
So, the easy solution to get at least convert-ly up and running is to add
the above installation instruction to the web. If including python into
the package is much more work and you still need additional fiddling with
BAT files, then it seems an easier route to just try to automate the steps
that I did manually. (Of course, one additional issue is how it works on
Win98, I use WinXP.)

I've prepared 2.6.4-2, would you like to give that a test? It took me
longer than I'd hoped, but as a bonus you should be able to do
PYTHONPATH="/Program Files/LilyPond/usr/lib/python2.4" "/Program
Files/LilyPond/usr/bin/python2.4.exe" "/Program Files/LilyPond/usr/bin/convert-ly.py" --help
or something like that. Not especially user friendly yet, but I'm not
sure if we should start the wild BAT files hunt again.
