I just installed the latest version of pn, then unzipped the latest pypn into the pn folder and ran "pn --findexts" from the command prompt. I get no error and no output.

I start up pn and I don't see any scripts nor can I use the macros (macros are why I'm trying to install pypn).

I definitely have Python 2.6 installed (in c:\Python26) and working since I use it for Development all the time (with Eclipse + PyDev). When I type "python" on the command line, the 2.6 version starts up.

Got any clue as to why pn isn't installing the pypn extension?

I have the same problem, Python 2.6 64bit version. Perhaps due to PN being 32bit? Copied the python26.dll from c:\windows\system32\ but did work (probably because it is a 64bit dll).
The only other way I can think of is compiling PN as a 64 bit app.

I have the 32 bit version of Python 2.6

@Sam: Yes, you need 32-bit python as PN can't load the 64-bit version.

@tayl0r: Do you see the PyPN extension listed under Options | Extensions?

If it's not there then PN didn't even manage to load the extension to register it which is strange, but could be a version thing. What version of PN (you say latest, but is that 2.0.10 or 2.1.4)?

@simon: I have no extensions listed other than CTags Tagger.
I'm running version 2.1.4.2191-devel.

Is there anything else I could try? Log files to look at?

@tayl0r: Ok, please check you are using the latest PyPN for PN 2.1:

http://pnotepad.googlecode.com/files/pypn-0.11.1117-py26.zip

Once you've extracted that you'll need to run pn --findexts again, and hopefully that should be it.

That did the trick. Thanks a lot simon.

I was trying to install pypn0.10.93 before, which is still listed as the latest version on your site:
http://www.pnotepad.org/add-ons/

Or am I missing something?

Thanks, I need to add a link for the testing version. The version on the site is still the latest for PN 2.0.10, but when using a testing version you need a testing version of the plugin as well.

I have installed PN 2.1.4 and then PyPN 0.11.1117 from the link above as administrator on Win7/x86 (I also ran "pn --findexts" as admin). As administrator I had PyPN listed under Options | Extensions. But as regular user it was not listed. Then I noticed that pypn.dll was not listed in config.xml. After adding it to config.xml by hand it was also available for the regular user.

When running pn --findexts the config.xml change is written to the user settings directory (http://pnotepad.org/docs/settings_storage). So you should see pypn.dll added to that file when not running as administrator.

Probably the issue is running it as admin, run as your normal user and it should be fine.

Simon, maybe you could a something like
print("Settings were written to %s", strConfigFile);
I also had this issue and added pypn.dll to config.xml manually.
Or you could add a note here:

(I would add this myself, but I've forgot my password...)
