WPPM Problem

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi Pierre,

I just installed Winpython-2.7.3.0beta4 (32bit) on my USB-Stick here:

E:\Python_Portable\WinPython-2.7.3.0beta4

When I double-click WPPM.exe a python window opens, and for a very short moment 
some messages appear (too short to read anything) before the window closes. So 
I assume something went wrong. But I have no idea what?
My System is a Windows7 64bit, but I used the 32bit verson, since my PC at home 
is 32bit.

Any ideas?

Sebi

To see what's wrong, you may open the WinPython python interpreter 
('python.exe' which is in the same folder as 'WPPM.exe'), and do the following:

Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:31:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on 
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from winpython import wppmgui
>>> wppmgui.main()

Hi Pierre,

i started python.exe as administrator, but i did not came to the point where I 
could type wppmgui.main()...

Removing the 'settings' directory may help:
E:\Python_Portable\WinPython-2.7.3.0beta4\settings

However, this won't help me understand why it happened in the first place.
But it's worth the try to -at least- see if the problem persists or not.

Hi Pierre,

I removed the directory and now I can start WPPM. And starting python and 
trying from 

>>> winpython import wppmgui
>>> wppmgui.main()

works a as well.
