A quick look at the site, and following the link to the XEphem site reveals that the Windows port of XEphem uses Cygwin. AFAIK, that's not compatible with the usual CPython implementation.
Again, AFAIK, you'll either have to use a Python port compiled under Cygwin, or you'll have to find a Windows port compiled with VS 6 or higher.
Someone who knows more about those issues will have to take it from here.

A second request for help...
Has anyone run the PyEphem ephemeris application under WinXP? http://rhodesmill.org/brandon/projects/pyephem.html I have compiled it with Visual Studio 6 and it crashes Python with a simple
import ephem ephem.date('1994/7/16')
Identical code works fine under Linux. I suspect that the problem has to do with a parser built into the c shell for the c code that the app wraps around. However, I am not good enough at c to spot the error.
I am running ActivePython 2.3.5 Build 236 on a WinXP SP2 system with Visual Studio 6 patched to sp6.
I would appreciate either help from a c guru who knows how to wrap python around c or a pointer to another list where experts might reside. - ------------------------------------------- Cheers, David Flory
