hi,
(i don't like to cross-post, but i'd sent this message originally one =
week ago to python-help@python.org and never received a response.)
i just installed ActivePython-2.2.2-224 on Windows 2000 (no Service =
Pack). don't think it matters, but i'm running a multi-boot system and =
Python has been installed on my (win2k) partition 'H:\' instead of =
'C:\'.
Python works, and Tkinter works, but not the PythonWin IDE. as soon as =
i open up the PythonWin IDE i get a popup window labelled 'Traceback =
when executing InitInstance handler'. the text inside this popup is as =
follows:
File =
"H:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\Pythonwin\pywin\framework\intpyapp.py", =
line 163, in InitInstance
import interact
File =
"H:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\Pythonwin\pywin\framework\interact.py", =
line 26, in ?
import winout
File =
"H:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\Pythonwin\pywin\framework\winout.py", =
line 228, in ?
import pywin.scintilla.view
File =
"H:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\Pythonwin\pywin\scintilla\view.py", line =
16, in ?
import bindings
File =
"H:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\Pythonwin\pywin\scintilla\bindings.py", =
line 6, in ?
import keycodes
File =
"H:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\Pythonwin\pywin\scintilla\keycodes.py", =
line 25, in ?
_better_names =3D [
exceptions.AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'VK_RETURN'
please note that i've tried starting the ActivePython installer package =
and running the 'Repair' option, as well as completely uninstalling =
ActivePython and then reinstalling it (including deleting all Python =
registry items before reinstalling), but it just ain't workin'. i hope =
noone's going to suggest that i install a Win2k Service Pack...i'd like =
to avoid this.
any help would be greatly appreciated...oh, yeah - i'm 99% sure my =
ActivePython installer package is not damaged, 'cause it's the same =
installation file i've used to successfully install ActivePython on =
another Win2K computer.
thanks,
tom
