Windows

For use on Windows (from the DOS prompt or using a GUI such as IDLE, PythonWin, PyCrust, or PyShell), use the Windows installer. It is available at http://bonsai.ims.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~mdehoon.

If you want to recompile Pygist for Windows from source, you can do so using Cygwin/MinGW. To compile, run

   /cygdrive/c/Python22/python setup.py config --compiler=mingw32
   /cygdrive/c/Python22/python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32

Here, /cygdrive/c/Python22/python refers to Windows's Python as seen from Cygwin. The exact path may be different on your machine. To install Pygist for Python on Windows, run

   /cygdrive/c/Python22/python setup.py install

If instead you want to create the Window installer, run

   /cygdrive/c/Python22/python setup.py bdist_wininst
