Hi, I'm new to python, and ipython, but not to programming, having trouble getting ipython installed on windows 2000, python 233. Any help would be much appreciated; I'm sure I'm being some basic flavor of dense...
First downloaded and installed PythonWin, readline and ctypes. They're all pretty clearly here and working, because I can run PythonWin, and from there, importing readline and ctypes works. Then downloaded ipython-0.6.6.zip and unzipped it. When I double-click setup.py, I get only a brief wait cursor; nothing else happens, and importing ipython as a test fails. I tried moving the whole unzipped dir to site-packages, no difference. Both files in the scripts dir, ipython and pycolor, have no filename extension, which seems odd to my newbie eye. I tried renaming them to .py, still no difference. My apologies for this basic question, and my no doubt ignorant flailing about. Very much looking forward to getting this working.
