IDLE 1.2
>>> import os
>>> os.environ
'.......... 'HOME': 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator',
...............}

this is not home?


I am geting exactly the same error

IDLE 1.2      ==== No Subprocess ====
>>>
removing 'build' (and everything under it)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\PyVISA-1.3\setup.py", line 60, in <module>
    home_dir = os.environ['HOME']
  File "C:\Python25\lib\os.py", line 429, in __getitem__
    return self.data[key.upper()]
KeyError: 'HOME'
