[Twisted-Python] Win32 binaries for Python 2.6
Does anyone know when Twisted installers for Python 2.6 on Windows are likely to be available? Thanks, Paul

Sometime after a version of Twisted exists which supports Python 2.6. Right now, the latest supported version is 2.5. There are three things that need to happen for a particular Python version to be supported: * There needs to be a buildbot for that python version. Right now, the only python 2.6 buildbot on <http://buildbot.twistedmatrix.com/waterfall> is for ubuntu64; there needs to be one for Windows if you want to have an official windows installer. * The tests actually need to pass under that buildbot, i.e. they need to be green. You can see that this is not the case for our only 2.6 builder here: <http://buildbot.twistedmatrix.com/builders/ubuntu64-python2.6-select/builds/...> (although I'm not sure what the deal is with that particular error). Luckily, there is probably less work to do for python 2.6 than any other Python release in recent memory. * We need to do a Twisted release. Rumour has it that the release manager is planning one in the next couple of weeks, but unless a 2.6 buildbot shows up before then it will not be a supported platform for that release. If you would like to help with some of these, I'm sure we could do a little bit of research and provide you with links to specific tickets :).

Thanks. In many cases, projects "just work" with 2.6, so it's just a matter of someone finding time to build the binaries (or me doing it myself, if there are no hairy external dependencies, and it builds with mingw :-)) Knowing that there are actual issues to resolve, gives me a better idea of what to expect.

:-) I'm not sure how much help I could be - I wouldn't class myself as a heavy Twisted user, and I certainly don't know much about the internals. But if I do get a chance, I'll see if there's anything I can look at. Paul.

The only ticket for a Python 2.6 issue remaining in trunk@HEAD is <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/2605>, I believe, although there are several other tickets in the Python 2.6 milestone which would be nice to have, but perhaps are not necessary for a Python 2.6-supporting release: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&milestone=Python-2.6 Jean-Paul
If you're simply interested in using twisted as a package for development then create a file with the name twisted.pth with the following single line 'C:\proj\twisted' in your 'C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages' directory If you plan to use the twistd script then additionally create a file with the name twistd.bat with the content @echo off C:\Python26\python.exe C:\proj\twisted\bin\twistd %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 in your 'C:\Python26\Scripts' assuming that the twistd distribution is hanging out at 'C:\proj\twisted' For additional scripts do accordingly and make sure that the PATH variable contains 'C:\Python26\Scripts' I rarely install packages into my python distributions these days, one exception being some basic binary ones like zope interfaces and the win32 extensions and doing all my Python development on MSW with Aptana Studio/PyDev and distributing code mostly to OpenBSD or FreeBSD HTH, Werner Paul Moore wrote:
