Hello,

I had no idea there were different ActiveState Pyhton typologies (i.e. FirstClass and "regular").

1) Where can I get the latest "regular" ActiveState Pyhton 2 for 32bit Windows XP SP3 and for 64bit Windows 7 SP1?
and
2) Where can I get the latest "regular" ActiveState Python 3 for 32bit Windows XP SP3 and for 64bit Windows 7 SP1?

Here
http://docs.activestate.com/activepython/2.7/get/windows/
and here
http://docs.activestate.com/activepython/3.6/get/windows/
I can read "ActivePython requires Windows XP, or later.".

Thank you!

Can't install ActivePython 3.6 on Windows 10

Hi,

I'm trying to install ActivePython 3.6 on my Windows 10 machine for the first time. I'm running the installer "ActivePython-3.6.0.3600-win64-x64-401834.exe" with the default installation options.

The installer seems to run as expected. It runs for a minute or so and then displays a message "Completing the ActivePython 3.6.0 Build 3600 (64-bit) Setup Wizard." I then click the "finish" button and the installer exits.

When I open the Start menu, however, there isn't menu item for ActivePython, so I can't open it. (I've also tried typing "ActivePython" in the menu to confirm that it isn't there.) When I browse the file directories on my hard drive, I notice the following:

-- Python 3.6 is correctly installed in C:\Python36\.

-- I can't find any trace of ActivePython itself on my hard drive. I've looked in the "Program Files,""Program Files (x86)," and "Program Data" folders. I've also searched for any files containing "Active" or "Python" in their name, but found nothing relevant.

I should note that I have plenty of RAM and disk space, so those aren't the issues.

Would anyone have any suggestions about how to proceed? Also, could anyone share the folder location where ActivePython should be installed under Windows 10?

Thanks very much!

Known to appear in 3.5 and 3.6 ActivePythons, but could affect other versions as well.

Symptom: When running
import win32com.client
an error is reported.
(site-packages\win32com\gen_py\__init__.py does not exist)

Problem:
The win32com module is designed to create __init__.py and dicts.dat the first time it starts. If the files do not exist and the current user does not have adequate permissions to create the files, the error above will be reported.

Work-around:
The files only need to be created once. If an Admin ID with the correct permissions runs
import win32com.client
the necessary files will be available for future users who do not have elevated permissions.

I have installed Active Python 3.5 x64 on Windows 10 and XAMPP for Apache server.

In C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\ i have created a file active-python-manual.conf with the content

    Alias /active-python-manual "C:/Python35/Doc/"
    <Directory "C:/Python35/Doc">
        AllowOverride AuthConfig
        Require local
    </Directory>

After an restart of Apache i can reach the Active Python documentation by typing http://localhost/active-python-manual/ in the browser.

I found a page called "Search"http://localhost/active-python-manual/python/search.html which is originally located on C:\Python35\Doc\python\search.html

But if i type something in the form and press the search button, nothing happens. The search is running forever.

How can i get it running?
Thank you!

Problem installing ActiveState Python 3.5.4 on Windows 7 64bit

When I install ActiveState Python 3.5.4 on my Windows 7 (64bit) machine no shortcuts are created in Start Menu. I know that these shortcuts used to be created in earlier versions, and lack of them may point to some problem with the installation. Still, I have tried several times to uninstall and reinstall again and each time nothing was added to the Start Menu.

Does anyone know if this is an expected behaviour?

Thanks,

Tom
