You could try virtualenv:

And have one virtual environment with Twisted 9.0 and another with Twisted 8.2, etc, etc.

Hi,

I'd like to upgrade twisted to the newest version and obviously first test if my application works fine with new version. What is the best (safest) way to do it?

Thanks for help, Pet

This is an interesting problem.

easy_install identifies

http://tmrc.mit.edu/mirror/twisted/Twisted/9.0/Twisted-9.0.0.win32-py2.6.exe as some kind of package it can install - maybe a self-extracting zip? I don't know - but that's not what it is. This seems to be because the name matches the scheme setuptools uses for naming certain kinds of distribution files.

I think it thinks that it's an executable created using "python setup.py bdist_wininst" or something similar...

We presently are not distributing binary eggs for Windows, so easy_install isn't likely to be the best installation strategy anyway.

Well, the second thing I do on a new machine (after installing Python of course) is install MinGW and set distutils up to use it as a compiler for Python extensions, so for me it usually works just fine. :) However, in the general case, I agree that most people won't necessarily have a compiler installed on Windows. Not entirely related to this discussion (though not entirely unrelated), I think that Twisted's whole release/distribution system needs to be revamped a little. I've been meaning to talk to radix about this, but haven't found the time...maybe this will give me the kick in the pants I needed... Kevin Horn

Thanks! Will try it out

Oh ho ho ho ho, boy.

As one who has tinkered with Twisted's release/distribution system (unsuccessfully so far - see ticket 1696 and 4138), I'd be very interested to hear what you propose.

On the contrary - I think your progress on 1696 especially has been *very* successful!  perhaps not quite *complete* yet, though :).

You need to install the Python development headers.  This is usually in a package named "python-dev" or "python-devel" or something like that.

thanks, it worked!
