Windows install problem

[pythonmobile]

I just installed a fresh copy of python 275 on windows. Then made sure that vcvarsall.bat is in my path for VS 2010. Then installed setuptools and ran:

PS C:\Users\Joe\temp> easy_install Pillow

--> How can I get around this problem?

Also, is there a pillow installer (msi/exe) somewhere that includes all the needed files for windows?

Thanks.

Try 2.0.0 or wait for the binaries to be uploaded.

Obviously it still can't find the bat file, you've got still an error somewhere.

That error occurs when your development environment is not setup properly. E.g. I have to open a "special" command window (i.e. one that the M$ SDK provides that is pre-configured for you) and enter:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0>set DISTUTILS_USE_SDK=1
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0>setenv /x64 /release

Then I can compile PIL. In any event, the Pillow 2.1.0 eggs are up now so $ easy_install Pillow should work.

I will redo the commands tomorrow and report. Thanks a lot for the help.

I don't know if this is resolved yet or not. But I had a similar experience with pip and the following resolved the matter:

1. Depending on your version of Visual Studio, there is an environment variable VSxxxCOMNTOOLS (xxx depends on Visual Studio version) with the value leading to ...\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Tools\
2. Add an environment value with the name VS90COMNTOOLS and the value %VSxxxCOMNTOOLS% (replace xxx appropriately to match that of part 1)
   This resolved the problem for me.
