Question

[Blubaugh, David A.]

I have already solved that problem.  Sorry for not alerting you as to me
of solving this issue.  Thank you very much for the help.  I was
wondering if you would be interested in helping in the development of a
Scipy / MyHDL hybrid.  The advantage of this would be to develop FPGA
logic with the ease of Python programming.  This would especially be
helpful in the development of a rapid DSP development system for FPGAS.
The rapid speed one could possibly obtain with this system might well be
a great deal faster that FPGA development with MATLAB.  Thank you for
your help.

Don't do that from inside IDLE. These are some step by step generic
instructions to install a new package; they don't assume much about your
previous knowledge.

1) Open a command prompt window (or system prompt, or console, or...).
Go to the Start menu, click on Run, type "cmd" (without the quotes),
press Enter.

2) See if you can invoke Python directly; type at the command prompt:

   C:\doesntmatter> python -V

   (use a capital V, press Enter at the end. Don't type the text at the
left of the > sign). You should get a response like this:

   Python 2.5.1

   If you get a similar response (maybe a different Python version),
skip to step 5.
   If you get an error message telling that "python" isn't recognized as
a command or something, continue on step 3.

3) Let's try to find where Python is located. As you appear to have IDLE
installed and working, open it, and execute these two lines:

   >>> import sys
   >>> print sys.executable
   c:\python25\pythonw.exe

Take note of the response, but omit the last "w". We will call this "the
full path to python.exe". In the example above, the full path to
python.exe would be c:\python25\python.exe

4) Repeat step 2 above, using the full path to python.exe instead of the
bare word python:

   C:\doesntmatter> c:\python25\python.exe -V  [press Enter]
   Python 2.5.1

You should get the installed Python version number, not an error.

5) Decompress the package you want to install into any temporary folder
-it doesn't matter where- using your favorite tool (WinRar, WinZip,
7zip, the Zip file handler built into WinXP...). Probably you've already
done that. Take note of the temporary folder (should contain the
setup.py
script)

6) Come back to the command prompt and make that temporary folder your
current directory, using the "cd" command. E.g. if it were
c:\temp\mypackage-3.2, type:

   C:\doesntmatter> cd c:\temp\mypackage-3.2 [press Enter]
   c:\temp\mypackage-3.2>

7) Now execute:

   c:\temp\mypackage-3.2> python setup.py install [press Enter]

(If you had to go thru steps 3 and 4 above, replace the word python with
the full path to python.exe) This should start the package installation;
read its documentation for further details.
