I am newbie with some background using zope. I am trying to use twisted in a web application that is going to be launched in my office. Problem now is that i cannot get the example to work ( Example ) .....

Can you expound a little more on which example you're talking about? "the example [...] (Example)" is not very specific in a framework as large as Twisted.

...

Specs :

...

1. os --> windows 98 2. python --> python-2.2.2

It should work, though I would recommend upgrading to a more sane version of Windows whenever you've got the chance :-)

...

This is my autoexec.bat :

...

@SET PYTHONPATH=C:\python22\lib\site-packages\twisted\ @SET PYTHONPATH=C:\web2\TWISTEDQUOTES\;C:\WEB2\MOHAN_KOTEH\

@echo %PYTHONPATH%

will probably show you that your PYTHONPATH is "C:\web2\TWISTEDQUOTES\;C:\WEB2\MOHAN_KOTEH"; if you want to add things to the path rather than reset it entirely, you want it to look like:

@SET PYTHONPATH=C:\python22\lib\site-packages\twisted\ @SET PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;C:\web2\TWISTEDQUOTES\;C:\WEB2\MOHAN_KOTEH\

IIRC. However, I don't understand what you're trying to do here. If you have Twisted installed in your C:\python22\lib\site-packages (as with setup.py or the .exe installer) then you shouldn't be adding anything to your PYTHONPATH to get 'twisted' to import.

Well following the example for woven, I thought that you needed to add to pythonpath where ever you are putting your code for your application, as in if I want to put my code in c:\web2\mohan_koteh\ then i should add this to the pythonpath to get it to work. Isn't it so ? I just kept on trying the woven examples but without success until i added the directory which i was working on to the pythonpath. Maybe I am doing something wrong here but can someone actually tell me how it is done ?

...

i can't seem to get the Example even to compile and looking through the docs doesn't seem to help much. One question can i use the --personal option on a windows machine ?

No. Windows doesn't have the notion of unix sockets. Even if you could, there wouldn't be much of a point: windows security (especially on 9x!) is even more of a disaster than UNIX, so separating privileges between processes doesn't help much of anything if you're running them on the same machine.

Why do you think you want the --personal option? It's designed for multi-user servers where you've got lots of different people running webservers and you want them all to be accessible through port 80.

...

I get an error that says it cannot find the pwd module. Can someone please help me or at least point me somewhere where there are some docs ???

The pwd module is for determining your UNIX username and home directory (which, surprise, you don't have ^_^). The --personal option is pretty much useless to you.
