RE: ANN: ActivePython 2.3.2 - MISSING PPM?

[Javier JJ]

Hi!

I've just d/l & installed ActivePython 2.3.2, and there is one thing I'm 
missing: The PPM (Python Package Manager) that was avaliable with 
previous ActivePython distributions (with all of them, IIRC). So, is it 
somewhere else?, or is the functionality missing? It'd be a pity, 
because it was an _extremely easy_ way of getting the more common python 
addon packages.

   Thanks a lot

write to XP registry - access denied...

[Brian Odlum]

Hi. I'm trying to get a Pythonwin program which worked fine under Windows 
98SE to work under Windows XP Pro.
 
The program attempts to read from and write to the registry file. The read 
work fine, but the write raise an exception of "access denied". Clearly, the 
problem stems from XP's more complicated design of ownership/permission on 
files. Unfortunately, I don't have a clue what needs to be changed. I suspect 
the Python code itself is fine, as it has not changed.
 
The program is being invoked from a user login which has administrator 
permissions. The Python directory and all sub-directories and files are owned by 
the administrator account. The directory of  the program file (and the file 
itself) are also owned by the administrator.
 
ActivePython 2.2.2
Windows XP Professional SP1 (fully up to date)
 
The method which raises the error is:
 
win32api.RegOpenKeyEx(win32con.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,,0,win32con.KEY_SET_VALUE)
 
Can anybody help me with this? Please?
 
Thanks in advance!
