Well, the issue is it works *for you* without error. Different people have different errors, and that's where we have to get it nailed down. But part of the problem is just endemic to Setuptools: odd things happen on different computers. On one computer paster finds all its imports fine, on another one it thinks the packages aren't installed. There are a dozen things that could go wrong, and it's difficult for a newbie to figure out. > One possible improvement would be to make a binary egg for simplejson > available, since with my current setting it does not build the C > extension in the virtual environment.

A binary egg would help. simplejson also needs to get rid of that "native_libs.txt" line in whichever config file it is, because it makes easy_install blow up on Windows if you don't have a C compiler. Usually if you delete that line, then you can install simplejson, and then you can install Pylons. But that's not something newbies should be expected to know. I've suggested Python should either downgrade the simplejson dependency or eliminate it. It's not needed for anything in core Pylons, only for the @jsonify decorator. So why not move @jsonify to the Cookbook and eliminate the dependency, at least until simplejson releases a package that can reliably be installed. -- Mike Orr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-devel" group.
