Hi, At some of the Twisted Sprints in San Francisco, I found that on my Windows laptop, it was easy to set things up Twisted quickly by using the ActiveState Python package manager (pypm).
I wrote some notes for doing this at: http://home.comcast.net/~rodrigc/python/twisted_install.html Rather than keep that info on my own web page, I thought it would be nice to contribute the information back to the Twisted wiki. This would not be the official way of installing Twisted on Windows, but would be some helpful information for an alternative way to install things on Windows. Since I do not have wiki edit permissions, I made a patch to http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads . If someone could help get this info on the wiki that would be great. -- Craig Rodrigues [email protected]
