[Grok-dev] Building grok on windows with Python 2.6?

[Alec Munro]

Ok, well I am making progress. Installing Visual C++ 2008 Express (the
"free" one), seems to allow me to build zope.security.

So far I've seen a couple instances of syntax error complaints, and
quite a few syntax warnings. I assume this is because of Python 2.6?
It failed to build, as far as I can tell, ending with "WindowsError:
[Error 32]", complaining about being unable to access one of the temp
files used to install, because it was being used by some other
process. Seems to be the same as the second error here:
http://www.nabble.com/problem-with-zope.app.testing-during-installation-Grok-on-Windows-XP-td20502104.html

Running bin\buildout.exe seems to have produced a usable installation.
But I didn't figure that out at first, so I tried the suggestions
here:
http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/grok-dev/2008-October/006546.html

That is, I added:

mechanize = 0.1.9
zope.app.appsetup = 3.8.0
zope.app.component = 3.5.0
zope.app.container = 3.6.1
zope.app.form = 3.6.3
zope.app.publisher = 3.5.1
zope.app.testing = 3.5.6
zope.testbrowser = 3.5.1

to:

file:///C:/Python26/Lib/site-packages/grokproject-1.0a2-py2.6.egg/grokproject/template_paste/versions.cfg_tmpl

Then "ran grokproject Sample" again. Same WindowsError.

Uli, where should I file that bugreport?

Thanks,
Alec
