[Twisted-Python] Installation problems
I've hit some problems installing twisted 1.3.0 on OS X / python 2.4. The biggie is that I can't find any trace of installation instructions (pre-requisites, installation instructions) anywhere. The tarball README refers to INSTALL, and INSTALL doesn't exist. I attempted a simple "python setup.py build" and the build bombs out after a while with: running build_scripts error: file 'bin/manhole' does not exist So... help a newbie out. What am I doing wrong? Cheers, Steve
You can either just untar the twisted to someplace like /opt/local/Twisted and add that dir to your PYTHONPATH everywhere, or use darwinports to install. If you choose darwinports the instance of python it installs is in /opt/local, and the default one is in /usr/bin or something so you'll have to do some fiddling to use the python it installs by default. I choose the PYTHONPATH way myself, I like to just be able to get the latest changes to twisted via subversion or what not and keep all of the documentation and files together. I have not tried to use the setup file, never really found a need for it. Hope this helps somewhat. Steve Atkins wrote:

It turns out that the SF download site seems to be giving corrupt tarballs. There was a bunzip error that I missed in unpacking and a few files were missing or corrupted. Downloading a clean tarball from twistedmatrix solved everything. Cheers, Steve

That's actually where I got them from :(
