Ivan,
It's not as slick as Brian Lenihan's OSX package, but all I needed was the
sound package (seems you have that), the raw source and the data directory
from a not-to-old PySol distribution to get going. Until I downloaded
Brian's package this evening I just ran from source using Python from CVS.
I imagine you could do the same on Windows with Python 2.3 or 2.4.

Here's my "pysol" command:
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/src/pysol-4.82/src
pythonw pysol.py
I'd be happy to package up a tar or zip file for you with a couple notes on
installing it.

If the .pyc files worked with 2.3, I am pretty sure they will not work with 2.4 since I am pretty sure the marshal format (used to make .pycs) was changed slightly for 2.4 after no change for a few releases. It will change again for 2.5. Python is intended to be distributed as readable source. .pycs are intended to be temporary caches, only kept around to avoid recompiling with every run, but certainly disposable with version changes.

Are you sure you're using the Python version (2.3, 2.4 etc) that the
Pysol .pyw files were compiled for? As I understand it, that's what the
"magic number" is - a versioning number for the .pyc/.pyw files which
changes when the Python version is upped.
If you had multiple versions of Python installed on your machine,
upgrading to SP2 might have muddled your file associations.

Nope. The pyc files don't match the py files, and he imports the pyc
files directly. That's what 'imp.load_compiled("__main__",
sys.argv[0])' means. The windows version that Markus shipped never
included the .py files anyway, since he didn't need them.
Getting the source and trying to run it directly would work if there
were any doc help at all, but there's none. What little there is is
aimed at Linux. Makefiles need to be constructed, & there are templates
that get filled out automatically.
I can get it working eventually, I suppose, but I was really hoping
someone else had done the work already, or at least had pointers to docs
on how to get it working.

I'm sure I could get it working on Linux, but I'd like to be able to run it on my main machine, instead of having to hop back over to the Win98 machine (an option my wife doesn't have). Sound server seems to be available as a .pyd file for the Win32 extensions, so I think that's not a problem.

Re: PySol not working on WinXP, SP2
You might try finding the source to pysol, and you might notice that
you have a bunch of *.py files and for each of those, a corresponding
.pyc file. If you delete all the pyc files, then they'll get
re-created from the .py files, and you might be all set.
