This isn't totally accurate - the stuff in bin/ is installed in c:\python22\scripts, and users are supposed to run them from there (eg c:\python22\scripts\twistd.py).
Apparently this user was just running "twistd", no path or anything like that. mktap and trial worked fine for them, and twistd and lore, etc didn't. It turned out mktap and trial have the __name__ == '__main__' test already, and that adding that to the rest of t.scripts fixed them, too. My understanding was that the win32 installer auto-created batch files or something, and supplied a "Twisted Command Prompt" with them in the path. Certainly, adding "print 'I am', __name__" to this user's twisted/scripts/twistd.py printed "I am __main__". They were using the 1.0.5 from the installer and Python 2.2.2 on Win 98. I don't have a Windows install to play with, so I'm working blind here -- please fix it differently if you think there's a better way to do this. :) -Andrew.
