Sounds like you've downloaded the Python 2.5 version of Easy Install.
There's no Python 2.6 version of EasyInstall :(
I wonder what I've been running then?
For 2.5, there is:
setuptools-0.6c9.win32-py2.5.exe
But for 2.6, it's:
setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg
For any other egg file, I would use EasyInstall, but I don't think I

No, but you can use ez_setup.
Go tohttp://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.pyand save the content
of that file as ez_setup.py (cut and paste into your favourite editor may
be the simplest way) then run it with your chosen Python. It will find and
install the appropriate version of easy install.

ez_setup worked fine. Thanks for that :)
According to the web site:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv
the next step is to do:
virtualenv ENV
If I do that, I get the following message:

Any advice?
Install the win32 extensions or install the 2.6 Activestate release.

ez_setup worked fine. Thanks for that :)
According to the web site:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv
the next step is to do:
virtualenv ENV
If I do that, I get the following message:

By *using* it? /opt/my_python/bin/python2.5 and you're done. If you e.g. download ez_setup.py & execute that through your custom python, you'll end up with an easy_install in /opt/my_python/bin, which you then can use to e.g. install VE.

Well, Turbogears works perfectly with python2.5, although there are people who use it with 2.6 as well. I have to keep 2.6 because my screen reader orca giave me some problem with 2.5. So I have no option but to keep a seperate python2.5 in some different directory and have ve use it. would just like to know how I can get ve to use that installation and not the one on my system by default. happy hacking.

You can of course use VE with a custom-build python, but then there isn't as much use for it, as you then have a distinct python-instance already - unless you are going to share it amongst projects, which then leads to the question why you don't use VE *without* the custom-build python. > or is there any other way to do this? I really need vertualenv and > would want to use python2.5 because I feel easy install won't work with > python2.6 Feelings are a fine thing in bed, on weddings or other social contexts. Usually, they don't belong in the more mundane world of computers, and in this case it's an outright wrong feeling. Easy_install works just fine with py2.6 It might be though that there are some 3rd-party-libs that don't. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Which python version do I use with "virtualenv"?
I have another question in this same context. I have python 2.6 and want to set up a vertualenv in /opt/turbogears/python2.5. Then use this for all the things a turbogears based application would need for project execution. so I have decided that I will download python 2.5 and compile it with ./configure --prefix=/opt/turbogears/python2.5 and then install turbogears. Is this possible? will this kind of python compilation help me to create a vertualenv in the place where I have python2.5? or is there any other way to do this? I really need vertualenv and would want to use python2.5 because I feel easy install won't work with python2.6 happy hacking. Krishnakant. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Sounds like you've downloaded the Python 2.5 version of Easy Install. If I were you I'd uninstall Python 2.5, and re-install easy_install using the correct exe for Python 2.6. Check that typing 'python' on the commandline still works, as installing and uninstalling 2.5 may have messed up your path. if it has, either manually add the Python install directory to the path, or reinstall Python 2.6. Note: have you changed the default install folder? I haven't got Vista, but on XP it installs to c:\Python26 not "C:\Python 2.6". I'd be carefull of changing the default install directory of Python, particularly if you are "non-techy" as some packages installers may look for Python in the default location. -- Ant -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I'm not an expert on virtualenv, nor do I use Windows, but I'd start off with this: $ c:\Python 2.5\python.exe vitualenv.py ENV and if that doesn't do what you expect, report the precise error you get and hopefully somebody who knows more about Windows can help. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
