Hi Jim,
Sorry, but I am clueless on this. If this is an exercise though, it should not
be too difficult to do.
Which problem is this?

Subject: [program-l] Python: Installing bzr Package From Source
Hi,
Bzr is the package NVDA-project.org uses to store and retrieve its source code.
I was going to attempt to read the Python source code in NVDA, just to see what
I can understand at my current learning level, because I'm interested, and
Learn Python The Hard Way told me to do so for the current exercise I'm working
on. So I thought that NVDA would hold my interest.
When I get the tar file extracted for bzr, it looks like there could be
different folders that contain versions of this package for different operating
systems. I'm unsure how to make sure that I get the right stuff into my Python
distribution. I originally downloaded and tried to use the easy_setup program
on the Python Package Index, but when it ran the setup.py for bzr, bzr gave me
an error and said to use a command line parameter. I'm unsure how to get
easy_setup to pass the command line parameter on to the setup.py file from bzr,
so that's why I got the tar file. I was going to attempt to find the right
stuff from the tar file and attempt to copy it into my python's site-packages
folder, then run setup.py to get the stuff to go where it's supposed to go.
I'm going to go for a walk to calm down. If anyone has advice, I'm all ears.
There has to be an easier way to deal with this that I'm just not understanding.
Jim
