Python on Windows XP 64-bit: python not found in registry
After first trying to install the beta of Python 2.6 on my Windows XP 64-bit machine I finally succeeded installing 2.5.2. But I still have a some problem: Installing iPython, PIL, easy_install etc fails saying that python.exe cannot be found (although I can start the python interpeter just fine). The problem is that python cannot be found in the registry. I tried Effbot's solution of adding Python to the registry, but that doesn't help: http://effbot.org/zone/python-register.htm Anybody here that had the same problem and solved it? Thanks. 2B -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Python on Windows XP 64-bit: python not found in registry
Anybody here that had the same problem and solved it? Did you install the 32-bit or the 64-bit installer? If the 64-bit installer, did you also install 32-bit or 64-bit installers for iPython, PIL, and easy_install? If you try to use 32-bit extensions or installers to locate a 64-bit Python, that will fail: even if installation would succeed, you still couldn't use the resulting installations, since you just can't mix the two architectures in a single process.
