Hi Christian
Thank you for your response.
OK so now using MinGW I can run the configure script and that seems to work
fine.
Then I run make and I get this output:
Making all in louis
make[1]: Entering directory `/c/liblouis-3.1.0/python/louis'
source ../../liblouis/liblouis.la ; \
sed "s/###LIBLOUIS_SONAME###/$dlname/" \
< ./__init__.py.in \
> __init__.py
/bin/sh: ../../liblouis/liblouis.la: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/liblouis-3.1.0/python/louis'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
"__init__.py.in" is still in louis directory but no "__init__.py". And if I
run setup.py install I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 41, in <module>
version=louis.version().split(',')[0].split('-',1)[-1],
AttributeError: module 'louis' has no attribute 'version'
Thank you for any help and excuse my ignorance in these matters!
Jake

Hello,
I have been trying to install the Python bindings on my Windows machine

The instructions in the python/README file are not working for me as
they stand.
I read in this post from 2009 that the first step for Windows is to use
autotools in order to obtain the __init__.py file which is needed by
setup.py:
https://www.freelists.org/post/liblouis-liblouisxml/Problems-with-Python-bindings-on-Win32,1
I presume that autotools uses the __init__.py.in (note the extra “in”
extension) file, that comes with the downloaded liblouis package located
in the python/louis directory, to generate this?
I have tried this by installing MinGW on my machine in order to use
autotools but have had no success generating the __init__.py file.
