Hi, Just doing some experiments with PyPy I'd like to install pip / virutalenv. With pypy and Linux no problem With CPython (32 bit) and windows 7 64-bit no problem With pypy and Windows 7 64-bit no success. Any hints ???? I even tried it with disabling the antivirus. In fact so far I couldn't download and install any package successfully. Perhaps somebody could recommend a very simple package as a starting poimt. Experimenting without virtualenv is a serious pain. Installing pypy and easy_install (setuptools) seems to work Installing virtualenv / pip always fails. I'm running out of ideas. SO any help is welcome. Below the details. Step 1: Download and unpack pypy ------------------------------------- I open a cmd window I downloaded pypy1.9.0 and extracted it to a directory (%PYPY_PATH%) Step 2: Installing easy_install (setup_tools) ----------------------------------------------- I download http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py and install it with cd %PYPY_PATH% pypy.exe distribute_setup.py This seems to work basically. However a really strange message is: Don't have permissions to write C:\test\pypy-1.9\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg-info, skipping Not sure, where this is coming from. I assume, that another thread / process didn't close the file properly Just for fun I tried this also with a privileged window. Same problem: Step 3: Try to install virtualenv ------------------------------------- I tried following steps in a normal cmd window awith a cmd window with admin privileges. When starting virtualenv from a admin-cmd window. Then I get following output: C:\test>pypy-1.9.2\bin\easy_install.exe virtualenv Searching for virtualenv Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/virtualenv/ Reading http://www.virtualenv.org Reading http://virtualenv.openplans.org Best match: virtualenv 1.8.2 Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/v/virtualenv/virtualenv-1.8.2.tar.gz#...
