Hello,
I work on Microsoft Windows 7 (64 bit), have MiKTeX 2.8 and lilypond
2.12.3 installed and lilypond-book worked fine until I installed
Python 3.1.1.
Not knowing that Lilypond provides python 2.4.5 I was surprised that
after I installed Python 3.1.1 and ran python, an older version of
Python started. Then I realized it's python 2.4.5 from the
\LilyPond\usr\bin directory. So I modified the PATH environment and
moved the Python 3 path before the LilyPond\usr\bin path. Then the
"python" command launched Python 3.1.1. So the minor python-launching
problem looked like solved, but ...
Lilypond-book does not work anymore. Even when I move the Python 3
path further back again or even when I remove it from PATH completely,
I cannot run lilypond-book because it complains about the syntax line
1037 of lilypond-book.py. Error messages follow, but first here are my
files and folders explained:
The minimal document tutorial.tex which I am trying to compile:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\begin{document}
Text before lilypond
\begin{lilypond}
{
c' e' g' e'
}
\end{lilypond}
Text after lilypond
\end{document}
tutorial.tex is located in F:\sven\latex\lilypond,
lilypond-book.py and python.exe (2.4.5) are in c:\Program Files
(x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin
Python 3 is removed from path. Here the commands I tried, first lines
showing that "python" launches the same old 2.4.5 version used by
lilypond-book:

I also tried to run lilypond-book right from the directory where the
old python version and lilypond-book.py are. The results look better,
but still aren't good enough. This is what happens:

Now, can anybody explain me what is going on? Why can't I run
lilypond-book from anywhere and why it does not work even when run
from its own directory?
Looking forward for your answers,
S.
