Hi all,

I am completely new to Python, but I'm confronted with a problem I can't
solve.
Welcome to python.

This is my question:
[snip]

I installed Python 3.2.1 and extracted the packages PyWebDAV and PyXML. Now
I have a working Python app and 2 directories called PyWebDAV-0.9.4.1 and
PyXML-0.8.4. In the PyWebDAV README it says:

Installation and setup of server can be as easy as follows:

$ easy_install PyWebDAV
$ davserver -D /tmp -n -J

But of course it doesn't work like that. When I start up Python GUI I see
the ">>>" prompt instead of the "$" prompt. But where do I place the two
directories? And there is no easy_install script in the PyXML-0.8.4
directory, only a setup.py and ez_setup.py script. I guess the latter is the
one to use. But how?
You dont install from "Python GUI", use normal cmd, navigate to the folder you downloaded PyXML and PyWebDAV and run "python setup.py install" (python.exe has to be in your PATH). Then you have to find the startup-script "davserver". Find your python installation directory and look into <Install dir>/Tools/Scripts, in my computer this is E:\python27\Tools\Scripts. PyXML and PyWebDAV get installed in the site-packages folder i.e. E:\python27\Lib/site-packages. You might have to look for "davserver" there...
