Hello Marcus, I'm afraid it is very difficult for me to understand your email. Your email contains weird control characters as shown here:

I think the reason is that your email program is setting the wrong encoding: your email claims to be Latin-1 but obviously isn't. I think this may be because you are using Microsoft Word as the email editor, and inserting "smart quotes", probably ‘’. Smart quotes are not part of Latin-1, but Outlook is (wrongly!) setting a header saying that it is using Latin-1. You should be able to fix this by: - turning of Smart Quotes and using ordinary '' or "" quotes instead of curly quotes ‘’ or “” - teaching Outlook to use UTF-8 instead of the cp1252 encoding - or at least have Outlook say it is using cp1252 instead of wrongly claiming to be using Latin-1 That will help us be able to read your emails. Another problem is that I actually don't understand what you are saying. First you say that you were too optimistic, at the beginning of the email. Then in the middle of the email you say you have solved your problem, and we should not bother. Then at the beginning you say that you need help. None of these parts are quoted: > Quoted text Not quoted text so it all looks like part of the same email, which is confusing: have you solved the problem? Not solved it? If we understood your questions better, perhaps we could answer them. > Since I havent got any responses to my previous calls for help my problem > might be too unimportant - I just try it another time: > > Why got jdcal accepted and et_xmlfile not ? > I must say I unzipped both files directly in > C:\Users\marcus\AppData\local\Programs\Python\Python35\Lib\site-packages. Are you talking about this? https://pypi.python.org/pypi/et_xmlfile You should unzip it into your home directory, and then run the setup.py file in the top directory. I think the command will be: python setup.py install as administrator or root superuser. On Linux/Mac you may be able to use: sudo python setup.py install > The command >pip install was rejected as SyntaxError : invalid syntax. > Thanks for any kind of help, Marcus. You need to run pip from the operating system's shell, not from inside Python. Python's default prompt is ">>>". Most shells use "$" or "%" as the prompt. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
