How do I install superpy?

There are a variety of ways: 1. If you have easy_install on your system, simply do "easy_install superpy" (you can get easy_install by executing http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py with python).

2. If you don't have easy_install and don't want to install it, you can install the appropriate python egg from the downloads section. If you do that, make sure you install the dependencies (currently Pmw).

Of course, you will also need python installed (see the question on Python later in this FAQ to get a pointer to the python download location).

Do I need to do anything special on windows?

Make sure you have installed the python windows tools from https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32. Once easy_install supports pywin32, we will setup dependencies so this is not required.

Also, you may want to see the section on setting up superpy as a windows service in SuperpyDocs#Superpy_as_a_windows_service.

Where do I download Python?

You can download python from http://www.python.org/download. Superpy has been tested mainly with version 2.5 of python but should work with most other versions as well.
