Ben (and Pete and Frank...)

Thank you for your help with this!
I got sufficiently disenchanted at 11pm yesterday to stop trying for an hour or two (and beat up some baddies in Gauntlet!)
These emails this morning (from last night) have me inspired to keep trying...

I hear what you're saying re. PYTHONPATH &c.... my trouble is I'm newbie to Python and Cygwin (well for compiling), let alone pygame and SDL_ things
Now if it was all in Perl I'd be ok, well more confident.


I'll try these suggestions out... now...

What I really wanted to hear is what you and Pete have been saying ... it's finally got through to me... I don't have to compile anything at all, even
though using Python from cygwin...
soooo...
onwards and upwards!

> Peter, PYTHONPATH refers to the python module directory.  This is typically in /usr/lib/python2/ or something similar(maybe /usr/local/lib/python2/, and contains a large number of python files, probably compiled python bytecode.  This is python's "standard library".

This library should be somewhere different than the PYTHONPATH variable is set to.  I forget, does cygwin have an ldconfig program?  If it does, try looking at the output of ldconfig -v and see if libpython* is in the output.

It sounds to me like you've installed python in cygwin, and not used the windows python installer from http://www.python.org.  Is that the case?  If so, things should still be do-able, it's just an important distinction to make.

One problem that may occur is that the pygame installer doesn't properly detect the python package installed in cygwin.  If that happens, mail the list and say so...  There may be ways to hack around that.  But, if it works, then you'll be up and running.  The test programs should work, and you should be able to start writing pygame stuff immediately.
