Hi,
i am trying to install plone on win xp sp3 with Plone-3.1.7.exe, but getting error: 'pythonw.exe entry point'
this error occures when i clicked start > programs > plone > plone, so i cannot see plone controller window.
however, plone runs without error from start > programs > plone > development > plone debug and i can see Plone site with
http://localhost/ on internet explorer 7.
i found an error description at wxApp.log as:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\Plone 3\XController\wxApp.py", line 91, in ?
respawn_sub()
File "C:\Program Files\Plone 3\XController\wxApp.py", line 63, in respawn_sub
import pythoncom
File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\pythoncom.py", line 3, in ?
pywintypes.__import_pywin32_system_module__("pythoncom", globals())
File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32\lib\pywintypes.py", line 93, in __import_pywin32_system_module__
raise ImportError, \
ImportError: No system module 'pythoncom' (pythoncom24.dll)
on my machine, ESRI ArcGIS 9.2 is also installed and uses python 2.4.1 as scripting language and pythonwin pywin32-207.win32-py2.4.exe. these versions should not be changed. so, i have separate python installation at C:\Python24 (and also C:\Python25, python 2.5.2 has also pythonwin).
it seems from the log error that ESRI python and plone python confused, because C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32\lib should belong to ESRI. Plone has his own python and pythonw at C:\Program Files\Plone 3\Python
NEXT thing i did: i uninstalled python24 and plone, and then reinstall the plone. the error gone and now i can see the plone controller window. everything working well.
how can i use both python (ESRI python 2.4.1 and Plone python 2.4.4) at the same machine?
could you help me, please?
i mean that not running plone controller window is not big deal but will this error be a problem in the future if i uses both python at the same time.
thanks for help.
note: there is no pythonpath or pythonhome variable and no python path definition for path variable for this user.
