installing plugins on windows.

[cpanelapache@…]

Hey i have been trying to install plugins with trac, the thing is you say we first have to install setuptools, but this is what causes the problem. im running: windows xp sp2. trac o.9. python 2.3.5 apache 2

The problem i run ez_setup.py and install setuptools and restart the apache server,then when i go to my wiki. it says mod_python has failed, if i uninstall setup tools everything goes back to normal. Python gives the error listed below.

Mod_python error: "PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend"

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\server\Python\Lib\site-packages\mod_python\apache.py", line 299, in HandlerDispatch
    result = object(req)

    env = get_environment(mpr, project_opts)

ImportError: cannot import name load_component

im also running trac on windows and it seems trac stops working when i install setup tools, does any one on the trac development team have any kind of insight on this coz its starting to get really annoying.

This is weird… there is no load_component() function in trac.loader anymore.

Maybe you have stale files lying around from 0.9-pre that haven't be updated?
