Python 2.6 : ez_setup and setuptools, pylint on Windows

After i installed 2.6 i notice there is no setuptools windows installer in the python.org site.

So to manually install it you need to :-

1. Download this egg file :

http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/s/setuptools/

2. Make sure u have download ez_setup.py from

http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/

3. ez_setup setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg

**

PJ Eby :

Actually, you can just download the source, unzip it, and do "setup.py bdist_wininst" to build your own .exe installer.

**

Now you need to download the pylint for checking /integrating with ur ide.

And again, u notice that u will fail to get it installed via "easy_install pylint", so here

is the manual way.

http://www.logilab.org/view?rql=Any%20X%20WHERE%20X%20eid%20857

(all the download links are at the upper right hand corner)

Download and unzip to all the folders, then goto each of them, common, astng, pylint and run :

python setup.py install

Case close.

.py association in Vista/Windows Missing

I was playing  with version 2.6 Python without uninstalling version 2.5. 

And for some reason i realize that when i execute a module without specifying the python.exe, the module could not get the arguments that was passed in.

For eg.

test.py argument1 argument 2

(argument1 and argument2 is missing from the sys.argv)

But

python test.py argument1 argument2 : works

Initially i tried "assoc .py" followed by "ftype Python.File" and the association was CORRECT!

It shows : Python.File="C:\Python26\python.exe" "%1" %*

Later i found out it was because there is still a registry key that is mapping wrongly.

Changing that registry key solves the problem.
