Did you install a 64bit Python interpreter? The most probable reason for that message is that the all-in-one installer can't locate a 32bit Python interpreter (which works fine on 64bit Windows). There are no 64bit PyGTK binaries for Windows (yet) and even if there where, it would probably be a safer bet to stick with the 32bit version as the 64bit GTK+ runtime binaries distributed on gtk.org (which would be needed by 64bit PyGTK binaries) are still marked experimental. > My Python2.6.6 installation directory is C:\Program Files\Python26.

None of these steps make a difference to the installer. Be extremely careful with installing Python into a path that contains spaces (like "Program Files"). Doing so is opening a can of worms. See here for more info: http://bugs.python.org/issue1284316, especially comment 26240 by Tim Peters and comment 104384 by Mark Hammond. No idea if your symlink idea could help ease the pain or not though. That said, if you do choose to continue with such an installation layout and you encounter bugs in the PyGTK aio installer please consider filing bug reports as I don't recall ever testing such a layout... > What do I need to do, to get the PyGTK installer to recognise my Python > installation? If you have installed a 64bit Python interpreter you should replace it with a 32bit version, if not there's some other problem. In that case please let us know. mvg, Dieter _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/
