Windows installation problem
GoogleCodeExporter opened this issue · comments
Hi,
I tried the "hard way" for installing in Windows, but, altough I can do import
prettytable, I cannot access the inside functions neither cant do from
prettytable import modules (tried with PrettyTable and from_db_cursor).
I am missing something?
I've just copied the folder inside site-packages, renaming it to prettytable.
Thanks in advance.
Josep

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I'm using Python 3.3.

Hmm. It sounds like maybe you've put the entire PrettyTable folder (with
setup.py, prettytable_tests.py, etc) inside site-packages? If that's true,
delete that folder and copy just the prettytable.py file, by itself, into
site-packages and try again. That's the way it's supposed to be done - I
apologise if the installation instructions aren't clear. Let me know if it
still doesn't work.

Hi. Finally I've solved the issue installing previously easy_install in windows
and then running easy_install.exe prettytable.
Just a curiosity, installed in this way, I can see and egg file but not the
prettytable.py file. Is this compiled or just placed in another folder?
Sorry for the question, but I'm just beginning with Python.
Thanks a lot.

I am glad you were able to get the library installed. I'm afraid I actually
don't know much about how easy_install works with regard to placement of files
etc. When I use pip to install prettytable on my linux machine, I end up with
both an egg directory and the prettytable.py file in my dist-packages. It's
possible the Windows case works differently. If you are able to use the
library, then the prettytable.py file must have ended up somewhere!

- Changed state: Done
Thanks for your answer. I've been searching prettytable.py with no luck. My
supposition is that all is contained in the egg file.
But well. At the end. It's working.
Thanks a lot and congratulations for the library!
