That is really not a *G*raphical User Interface, but the (text-based) Python shell. > I see the ">>>" prompt instead of the "$" prompt. "Doctor, my arm hurts when I move it." – "Don't move it, then." The Python shell executes Python code. The above obviously is not Python code, but *system* shell commands. So let the *system* command shell execute them (as indicated by the `$' prompt, which is customary for a sh-based UNIX/Linux shell prompt). Since you use Windows XP, type `cmd' to get the command shell (if you knew MS-DOS, which I doubt, you are at home now). However, you appear to have found the *UNIX/Linux* README (and the corresponding version?) of that server: the second command is usually how you would run a program as daemon on Unices (run through an init script), while on Windows NT (like XP) you would have a setup program install a service for you (maybe to execute that command when the service is started). Look for the Windows version. > But where do I place the two directories? You do not; let easy_install place them in the correct packages directory (hence *easy* *install*). That is very likely what the setup.py and ez_setup.py scripts are for (spell "ez" in English). > And there is no easy_install script in the PyXML-0.8.4 > directory, only a setup.py and ez_setup.py script.

If there is none, get easy_install and use it as described. -- PointedEars Bitte keine Kopien per E-Mail. / Please do not Cc: me. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
