Hi,
I cannot install the new bindings. I am not even sure if the .zip file does
contain the right .dll. Apart from liblouis-xml, it contains liblouis-0.dll.
I don't know what the "-0" is good for and I don't know if it contains the
liblouis code.
To install the Python bindings to upgrade to v1.7, I have done the
following:
- copy the liblouis-0.dll to the windows/system32 dir and rename it to
liblouis.dll, as the previous version was also named liblouis.dll.
- run "python setup.py install" from the Python bindings subdir of the
tarball.
First, the setup script did not find __init__.py as this file has a strange
suffix .in which might be removed when running make. Windows users usually
do not have make. So I renamed __init__.py.in to __init__.py and tried
again. Yet, the .dll could not be imported. See the traceback below for
details. Forgive me for reiterating my earlier call for a well-maintained
Python package that installs out of the box on all platforms.
