Hi alll,
I installed cygwin on W2K including Python 2.1 and I assume wxPython is going to run in this environment, too. Unfortunately, the Windows installer for wxPython doesn’t recognize this and complains about not finding Python. I would need to know how I can either make the Windows installer copy the files anyway or how to get the Windows binaries without installer.
Any help appreciated…
Thanks,
–Christian

The installer expects to find a key in the registry that specifies the path
where Python is installed. Both the standard Python Installer and the
ActiveState Installer set this key. You can probably set it yourself to
fake out the wxPython installer and be just fine, that is the only place in
wxPython that the registry is used.
The key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python\PythonCore\2.1\InstallPath
