*I think I fixed it :)* However, there are some concerns. Please go through
them and let me know!

here it is:

1. the settings.SPC['comment_compile_dir'] value is "compile". However,
this isn't working...
But when I tried with a absolute location (ex:
"d:/code/scipycentral/deploy/compile") it worked!!

2. There is no "email_website_admin.txt" in the "submission" templates. So,
it raised TemplateDoesNotExist when I clicked "finish submission". I just
created an empty file with that name and it worked.. (Don't know what its
for -- didn't go through this stuff) Anyways, what its for? Why it is not
present?

3. There is a EOFError with pickle.load() inside ./rest_comments/views.py
Line 236, 235.

Here in Line 235, its written as

with open(pickle_f, 'r') as fhand:

However, with reference to this discussion:
http://stackoverflow.com/q/700873/1162468

I tried

with open(pickle_f, 'rb') as fhand:

------

After all these tweaking.. things going smooth.

Now, it would be great if you could try these on your local machines and
let me know..


Thanks
