Installing Python Suds:

For Monday, November 2

• Read Head First, Chapter 2
• Be ready to finish our discussion of Brooks chapter 3

Everyone will be required to create a Java program to show how one of the design patterns works. I'll have specific patterns assigned to each of you on Sunday.

Python

1. Download the python-suds* and setuptools* directories from JP's shared/410.
2. (add python to the path to make your life easier: System Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables and add the value ;C:\python(versionnumber) and ;C:\python(versionnumber)\Scripts)
3. run python ez_setup.py in the setuptools directory
4. run python setup.py build and python setup.py install in the same directory
5. run python setup.py build and python setup.py install in the python-suds directory
6. Hope that it worked

if you have downloaded the two folders to the desktop, the following commands should work when entered into the command prompt (run -> cmd)

cd desktop\setup*
c:\python*\python.exe ez_setup
c:\python*\python.exe setup.py build
c:\python*\python.exe setup.py install
cd ../python-suds*
c:\python*\python.exe setup.py build
c:\python*\python.exe setup.py install
