So, I tried to load the normal 2.5 Idle and unload ('remove')
everything related
to 2.6 from sys.path, but it's strangely not working completely.
How do you start IDLE? Is it via a desktop or start menu shortcut?
If so what is the startin folder specified as?
What happens when you run it from the command ine with no extra
parameters - what error do you get?
Do you have both versions of Python in your environment variables?
In which order?
Hint: Start a DOS session and type
SET PYTHONPATH
and
SET PATH
Finally, I managed to run the program :
- by launching D:\python25\python.exe -E -S in a console (which
seems to prevent
python from loading the paths) - then appending the application path
to sys.path
but it's really not fun working with this bloody windows console
where cut and
paste is impossible...
Set the Quick Edit option for the terminal it will save you a lot of
pain.
Cut n paste are then possible. In fact you should probably read the
Windows help on CMD too because there are a lot of settings/registry
tweaks that improves the use of the CMD prompt dramatically.
Also look at the WindowsPowerShell - it has a lot of this "out of the
box"
But that aside you shouldn't have to do all this!
How can I force py2.5 to go and find the dependencies only in the
2.5
site-packages ?
There are probably several ways round it, including creating a local
startup file.
But if the paths are right it should work, and you may need to create
a startup
DOS file to set them before executing python...
