Hi,

I'm new to python and would like to request your help installing
python-gnutls on windows. Are there binaries available which can be
installed ?

Looks like the setup.py file which came with the package is for
Debian. I tried modifying it for windows but am still getting errors.

get_options() is not getting the include directories and libraries so
I harcoded the include directories. I'm getting the following error
now:
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\Development\python\python-gnutls-1.1.8>python setup.py build --
compiler=mingw32

    "'include_dirs' (if supplied) must be a list of strings"
TypeError: 'include_dirs' (if supplied) must be a list of strings

I would really appreciate your help

Thanks
