Title: Question For Pythonites About Installing Python
Post by: blinkblob on September 14, 2005, 09:57:56 pm

Hello,

I want to install this program http://www.elsix.org/index.php?w=project&p=1220 (http://www.elsix.org/index.php?w=project&p=1220) in order to convert txt files to PDF. The program requires python and a bunch of files from reportlab.

Do I just install all these files: http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/zaurus/download.php (http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/zaurus/download.php) to have python running?

The program also requires the following files:
http://www.reportlab.org/downloads.html (http://www.reportlab.org/downloads.html)

I guess once I do more research and figure out how to install non-ipk files do you think it may work?

Is it that simple? Just figure out how to install these foreign files (non-ipk) and I'm off to the races converting txt files to pdf?

Thanks for any help. I'm a total newbie.

Don't use the riverbank python, is out of date. Use Kopsis's. It's easy to install, you need to copy a big file somewhere and then download and run a little ipk. The instructions for download and installation are in the long thread you'll find in the python session of this forum.
