Well, it _should_ give you some clues. Note that you need to restart
Pythonwin before the option will take effect. Also note that the file must
be marked read-only on the disk.
Once enabled, and assuming VSS is installed correctly, the most likely error
message you will see is something like "this directory is not configured for
VSS". [Once the option is checked, you should get _some_ message on a
read-only file]
In this case, you need a "mssccprj.scc" file either in the file's directory
or a parent directory. This is the same name and format as VB uses -
basically a Windows INI file. A section [Python] with entry
"Project=ProjectName" is referenced. The project name is the name of the
VSS project the Python code attempts to check the file out from. If the
.scc file is in a parent directory, the correct relative VSS path is built -
so if your file system matches your VSS structure, you only need a single
.scc file in the VSS "root" directory.
Hope this makes sense.
Mark.
