Trouble with easy_install cheetah on WIndows Xp

Question

I have installed PyQT from this URL:

http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Downloads/PyQt4/PyQt-Py2.6-gpl-4.7.7-1.exe

I have Python 2.6 installed.

My OS is Windows XP SP3.

I entered this into cmd.exe:

easy_install cheetah

This is the output:

Any help?

Answer 1

The error you're getting on 'awtoum' is probably for the Autumn-ORM, which you can probably install with the command easy_install autumn. Once you have that prerequisite working, you can give the Cheetah installation another try, and it should skip right on past the error if the Autumn-ORM is already installed.

Alternately, you might have better luck installing via pip (which, perhaps ironically, you can install with the command easy_install pip). With pip, running pip install cheetah will try to get the latest version and all prerequisites/dependencies).
