I think this is pretty good already, nonetheless i could remove even more (threading, internet stuff except XML parser...) </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/603#post-7939 Wed, 25 May 2011 13:05:16 +0000 simon 7939@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Nice! I think it would be fine to remove more, yes. The idea I guess is to get to the point of a minimal distribution that enables common scenarios in PyPN. Users can then opt to use their own full Python installation (have to work out how to do that). </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/603#post-7932 Mon, 23 May 2011 20:11:31 +0000 CoDEmanX 7932@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Yeah, i'm not sure though if one can delete libs without errors. I gave it a try and ended up with 4mb 7zip archive incl. PyPN, seems to work fine.</p> <p>removed:<br /> include\ source header files?<br /> tcl\ gui lib?<br /> doc\ python help file<br /> scripts\ and tools\ which are basically examples<br /> tests\ test and exploit scripts?<br /> tkinter library, doesn't work anyway at the moment cause argv array isn't set<br /> i could also remove database stuff except sqlite, perhaps multimedia and multithreading too? </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/603#post-7916 Thu, 19 May 2011 11:15:39 +0000 simon 7916@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Great! 13mb is pretty heavy though, I wonder if we could cut that down to a sensible subset of Python to include with PN?</p> <p>I'd like to offer a PN+PyPN download with more stuff done via python, but would like to see the size cut down first. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/603#post-7915 Thu, 19 May 2011 10:55:54 +0000 CoDEmanX 7915@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I made a self-extracting archive that contains PyPN v1.0.2300 and Python 2.6.6.

It seems that quite a few libraries are lacking 64-bit support so I would have changed anyway and gladly it fixed PN as well. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/603#post-2175 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 17:43:52 +0000 Midas 2175@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Same problem here on 32-bit Windows Vista Home Premium, SP1. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/603#post-2174 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 17:33:56 +0000 kuukkeli 2174@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I'm trying to use the latest portable version and while PN itself works fine I can't get PyPN working. After manually adding pypn.dll to config file I get the following error:</p> <p>&quot;The program can't start because python26.dll is missing from your computer. Try installing the program to fix this problem&quot;</p> <p>Yet I do have Python 2.6.2 installed and the said .dll file is in system32 folder. After I close the error dialog PN starts but PyPN isn't not listed in extensions. If I copy the .dll file to PN folder there's no error but PyPN still doesn't show in extensions. Any ideas how to fix this?</p> <p>I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 RC build 7100. </p>
