I found the source of the error.
C:\Documents and Settings is a protected folder in Windows 7. You need to
change the security permissions on it so that IronPython has permission to view
its contents and read files from it. First, I needed to be sure I could view
all files and folders (one of the Options in Windows Explorer); then the
"Documents and Settings" folder showed up. Changing permissions can be done
under the Security tab if you right-click on the folder and select "Properties"
in the context menu.
Thanks to those who responded for your help and insight.

IRONPYTHONPATH is not even an environment variable.
README.txt is the only file in %PROGRAMFILES%\IronPython 2.6 for .NET
4.0\Lib\site-packages.
Changing line 242 of site.py in
C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Extensions\Microsoft\IronPython
Tools for Visual Studio\0.2\Lib did not make the error go away.
I'll see if I can find anything useful in the call stack. Thank you for your
reply and your time.

I can think of 1 of 2 things causing this:
1. IRONPYTHONPATH is set somewhere and causing us to search in
directories we shouldn't be
a. You can just clear this env var if that's the problem
2. There's something in site-packages which is causing this to be messed
up.
a. You can look in %PROGRAMFILES%\IronPython 2.6 for .NET
4.0\Lib\site-packages and see if there's any unwanted goo here. By default I
think there's just a README.txt and pkg_resources.py.
b. You can also look in %APPDATA%\Python - I think this may still not be
properly versioned based upon Python runtime so it's possible something from
CPython could interfere. You could modify line 242 of site.py to be
"IronPython" instead of "Python"
If that doesn't help it might be useful to look through that call stack and see
where the directories are being pulled from.

I'm beginning to think that something is seriously wrong with my installation
of IronPython.
When I enter IronPython from the command line (by typing "ipy -D
-X:ColorfulConsole -X:TabCompletion"), and type in "help('modules')" to start
my investigation of the dbapi implementation, I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

The path 'C:\Documents and Settings\' does not exist in a Windows 7 default
installation. What do I need to do to fix IronPython?
Thanks again for your time.

There IS a working dbapi 2.0 implementation for Iron Python. see
http://sourceforge.net/projects/adodbapi
It uses Microsoft ADO, so should be able to connect with PostgreSQL or almost
any other tabular data source. I have not yet tested it with Postgres. That's
the next thing on my to-do list. (I have a server running on my handy Ubuntu
box, but can't seem to get it to connect. Why is there never enough time?) It
is known to work with MicroSoft SQL, ACCESS, MySQL, and IBM AS400 sql.
I also have not yet written a distutils setup for it for IronPython -- you will
have to unzip and copy to do the install the hard way. (Another to-do list
item.)
You will either need to find an ADO provider for Postgres, or use an ODBC
driver and a different connection string. (I use an ODBC connection for the
MySQL sample in the \test folder.) Let me know how it works for you.

I'm extremely new to compiling things in anything approaching a pythonic way,

I've downloaded the source for psycopg2-2.2.1. The documentation recommends
using the standard "python setup.py build" and "python setup.py install".
So I tried to run "ipy setup.py build" to incorporate these libraries into
IronPython.
I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 50, in<module>
ImportError: No module named subprocess
subprocess relies on modules like signal that aren't available in IronPython
2.6.1.
There is a partial implementation of subprocess by Jeff Hardy floating around
that you could try. In general the IronPython support for distutils is
"minimal", so I still wouldn't expect normal module installation to work.
All the best,
Michael
I can verify that subprocess.py is in
C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Extensions\Microsoft\IronPython
Tools for Visual Studio\0.2\Lib. Do I need to add this directory to an
environment variable (like PATH), or is there some other way I can notify
IronPython about where to look for library files?
Thanks for your time.
