Hello,
This is my first time using this service so I am unsure what proper
formatting should be. In any case here is my question.
I just downloaded EasyInstall here:
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall
In the example section under
Downloading and Installing a
Package<http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#id6>
which is in the website listed, there is an example called example 1.
I can't get it to work. I was able to import easy_install into my python
GUI. But whenever I try using it I get the following message:
easy_install SQLObject
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
You are running Easy Install from inside Python, but using non-Python
syntax.
Normally you would run Easy Install from the shell. Under Linux, open
your favourite xterm, console or terminal window. You should have a $
prompt instead of the Python prompt >>>.
At the shell prompt, type:
easy_install SQLObject
and press the Enter key, and it should just work. (If you get
"Permission Denied" errors, you may need to use sudo or run the command
as the root user.)
Under Windows will be similar, using command.com or cmd.exe.
