Python / Set up SFML with Windows and Python
« on: February 14, 2008, 08:03:36 am »
I don't usually use python, but I wanted to try it out. Normally I'm on the C++ side of things.
I was originally going to just pass by and try out pyglet, but I know that I'll have to confront little issues like this if I want to continue with Python.
So I downloaded the Python SDK for Windows and opened the setup.py file with IDLE. Then I went to run it (F5) and it need me to say "install" as a command-line parameter. I couldn't figure out how to do that with IDLE, so I added the python folder to my PATH variable and went to the command line.
Then running the setup.py install, it said it needs to use Visual Studio 7.1 because python.exe was built with it. Now I have the Visual C++Toolkit 2003 and I ran the command prompt so it would set up the environment variables, but it still doesn't detect that I have it.
So I'm guessing it's checking for the complete IDE or something? Any way to fix this short of recompiling python?
It says it comes with precompiled binaries, but I guess not in the Windows SDK.
