simplejson install error, need help

I'm starting a new project and am trying to install Pylons 0.9.7 on a fresh install of Windows Vista/64 with Python 2.6. Easy install quits on an error installing simplejson. I see a thread on the subject (http://groups.google.com/group/pylons-discuss/browse_thread/thread/48d0a48a5ccc4a6e/22f12c

Re: simplejson install error, need help

Solved! (though with a wrinkle) I went ahead and installed Visual Studio 2008 and ran the easy install from a vs2008 shell (i.e., ran C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat in the shell before the easy install). simplejson _was_ able to install, I assume

Re: simplejson install error, need help

Agreed on all counts. In _my_ case the problem was a setup bug when simplejson can't find the cl.exe compiler on windows (as posted here previously.) Tibor Arpas wrote: > Vista and extensions for simplejson and other libraries give me > headaches all the time too. > Anyway. I think the "simple

I might try to tackle this once I get through some higher order business. No promises, though. Bob Ippolito wrote: > If someone submits a patch to simplejson to resolve any of these > stupid Windows issues, it will be accepted. I don't personally care > for Windows so I don't test it there, the

Re: simplejson workaround for Pylons 0.9.7 on Windows, Python 2.6

Flickr tutorial under 0.9.7?

I'm going through the tutorials under 0.9.7. The Flickr tutorial says config/middleware.py should have javascripts_app = StaticJavascripts() ... app = Cascade([static_app, javascripts_app, app]) and a /javascripts/effects.js file. Neither are there. I read the "What's new in Pylons 0.9.7?" at

Re: Flickr tutorial under 0.9.7?

That .6 vs .7 status list is very helpful, esp for a Pylons newbie struggling with documentation which is part .6 and part .7, thanks. Are there any docs or examples for the new .7 helpers? I want to work towards the Pylons 1.0 "Factory approved" usage for helpers and templating, but am challe

Re: Flickr tutorial under 0.9.7?

I didn't have the beta docs url, looks like there's enough to get me going with the intrinsic helpers. I like the Pylons platform a lot already, and have only done minor experiments. When everything is ironed out, it's really gonna rock. Great project! Rod --~--~-~--~~-
