[03:20:21] <aclark> jaraco: ping

[12:12:53] <jaraco> hi aclark - just got your ping

[12:53:45] <aclark> jaraco: hey do you know how to register a python with the windows registry? was thinking of installing another python that registers itself then changing the location…

[12:54:02] <aclark> jaraco: i have a python2.4 that plone installed, it appears to have no registry entry

[12:54:27] <aclark> but i need it to have one so i can install python-ldap.exe

[12:55:20] <jaraco> hmm

[12:55:42] <jaraco> Perhaps you would be better served using easy_install in that unregistered Python?

[12:56:00] <aclark> i need the binary installer unfortunately

[12:56:02] <jaraco> Do you already have distribute in that environment?

[12:56:17] <jaraco> easy_install works with .exe installers.

[12:56:18] <aclark> i can install it

[12:56:30] <jaraco> And doesn't actually run the exe, just uses the binaries.

[12:56:47] <aclark> jaraco: ah! i'll try that thanks

[12:56:59] <jaraco> good luck. That's what i'd try first.

[12:57:12] <jaraco> If that doesn't work, I can help find the proper registry keys.

[17:03:25] <aclark> jaraco: i'm trying to get plone 3.3 (python 2.4) working with openldap on windows. in my book i made a note about installing python-ldap via the installer to facilitate this (although I don't recall anything else ;-))

[17:13:10] <jaraco> okay.

[17:13:29] <jaraco> Did using distribute not work?

[17:13:56] <jaraco> I do recall using the installer technique in the past as well for exactly that problem.

[17:18:38] <aclark> yeah still getting DLL errors, i'll try fixing up the registry

[21:58:10] <aclark> Thanks pmxbot

[21:58:13] <aclark> !m pmxbot

[21:58:13] <pmxbot> you're doing good work, pmxbot!
