[Twisted-Python] Twisted 2.0 pre-pre release on Windows

Hi, I ran into two problems installing the Twisted 2.0 core pre-prerelease: 1) the post install script referred to by setup.py does not appear to exist 2) the twisted.python.dist module computed the data_files path with a leading "\". So, for example, setup.py tried to copy "\twisted\plugins.tml" rather than "twisted\plugins.tml" and couldn't find it. Kevin

line 90 of twisted/python/dist.py should read: if relative.startswith(os.path.sep): rather than relative.startswith('/') Kevin Kevin Dangoor wrote:

Someone else has filed related bugs: http://twistedmatrix.com/bugs/issue890 [sounds like a slightly different problem with twisted.python.dist actually] http://twistedmatrix.com/bugs/issue891 -Mary
