[pypy-dev] Windows 7 64-bit Problems installing pip or virutalenv

[Gelonida N]

Hi,

Just doing some experiments with PyPy

I'd like to install pip / virutalenv.
With pypy and Linux no problem

With CPython (32 bit) and windows 7 64-bit no problem

With pypy and Windows 7 64-bit no success.

Any hints ???? I even tried it with disabling the antivirus.

In fact so far I couldn't download and install any package successfully.
Perhaps somebody could recommend a very simple package as a starting poimt.

Experimenting without virtualenv is a serious pain.


Installing pypy and easy_install (setuptools) seems to work
Installing virtualenv / pip always fails.

I'm running out of ideas. SO any help is welcome.

Below the details.



Step 1: Download and unpack pypy
-------------------------------------
I open a cmd window

I downloaded pypy1.9.0  and extracted it to a directory (%PYPY_PATH%)



Step 2: Installing easy_install (setup_tools)
-----------------------------------------------

I download http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
and install it with

cd  %PYPY_PATH%
pypy.exe distribute_setup.py

This seems to work basically. However a really strange message is:

Don't have permissions to write 
C:\test\pypy-1.9\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg-info, skipping

Not sure, where this is coming from. I assume, that another thread / 
process didn't close the file properly


Just for fun I tried this also with a privileged window.
Same problem:

Step 3: Try to install virtualenv
-------------------------------------
I tried following steps in a normal cmd window awith a cmd window with 
admin privileges.

When starting virtualenv from a admin-cmd window.
Then I get following output:

Step 4) Trying to Install pip
-------------------------------
Installing pip fails as well.

If I start, easy_install as normal user, then I get first a popu asking 
me if I want to allow easy_install to make changes to my computer.

then a new cmd window opens with some messages (dowmloading, . . . )
then the window disappears
and then I get a popup, that windows is not sure my program installed 
correctly
