They had initial success in Albuquerque, NM, writing a Basic interpreter for the MITS Altair machine. By the time IBM came to them, they had moved to Seattle and were having more success writing compilers for several languages for microcomputers. So no longer a garage startup, but still very small, and definitely not a monopoly. -- Tim Slattery [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
"The system cannot execute the specified program."
Our office has a copy of Python 3.0 installed on a network share device. When I try to run it I get this message: "The system cannot execute the specified program." When I googled that message, the links that came up had to do with missing DLLs. So I fired up Dependency Walker and found out that there were indeed DLLs that it needed that the OS couldn't find. So I supplied those DLLs. And it still gives the same message, even though Dependency Walker is now happy. Does anybody have a clue what might cause this amazingly uninformative message? On a related note: there's a *.chm file on the same share, that's a PYthon user's guide. When I start that, I get a window with the full table of contents and index on the left side. But on the right side where the contents should be ... "Navigation to the web page was canceled".

I should add that before I knew about our shared installation, I downloaded the AS distribution of Python 2.6 from ActiveState. Their install procedure is a *.bat file that calls Python to put everything in the right place. When the bat file tries to invoke Python, I get the same message. -- Tim Slattery [email protected] http://members.cox.net/slatteryt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Is that what you are referring to here? That's what it is. They give you a choice of MSI or AS. The AS choice is a zip file that you unzip, then run the bat file on the top level. There's no indication that it's "not intended for wide use". -- Tim Slattery [email protected] http://members.cox.net/slatteryt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

No Vista involved. My machine is XP Pro. The server is some MS server OS, I'm not sure which one. >Alternatively for a non-Vista wild guess, could it be that Python 3.0 is >loading some libraries that use .Net and is therefore triggering the 'code >access security' which prevents the running of .Net applications from a >network share?
