New submission from Vlastimil Brom:
I encountered problems installing python 3.0 alpha 1 from the MSI
installer supplied on the python download page (python-3.0a1.msi).
If the advanced option of the installer ("compile .py files to bytecode
after installation") is checked - the following message is shown
"There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program run
as part of the setup did not finish as expected ..."
If I don't choose the option to compile files, the installation
finishes without any visible errors.
The result is in both cases the same however. After calling python.exe
it shows the version info etc. in the interactive prompt, but it
doesn't "respond" in any way.
e.g.
>>> 1+1
object : RuntimeError('lost sys.stdout',)
type : RuntimeError
refcount: 4
address : 00A65BD0
lost sys.stderr
>>>
Running of any .py file doesn't work either.
My system is Win XPh SP2 Czech (the same on Win XPp SP2 Czech).
Could possibly the Czech windows version/ language setting/ locale/
timezone or whatever be the problem (as there were some problems
reported with the manual compilation on German or Polish Winsows-
systems)?
Or am I missing something trivial?
Thanks,
Vlastimil Brom
