Please be a bit more specific. What version of Trac is this, what is your platform, steps to reproduce…

[didley@…]

My Platform is Windows Server 2000. I'm using

• Trac: 0.11dev
• Python: 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)]
• setuptools: 0.6c6
• SQLite: 3.3.4
• pysqlite: 2.3.2
• Genshi: 0.4.5dev
• jQuery: 1.2.1

Steps to reproduce:
Install Genshi from trunk and try to request tracd. The answer is, see above. Logging contains no content.

We've got the situation like ​http://genshi.edgewall.org/ticket/175 on the following configuration:

• SLES 9 x86_64
• Python 2.3.3-88.9
• Trac 0.11beta1
• PostgreSQL 8.2.4-13.1
• Genshi 0.5dev (with 0.4.4 everything works fine)

We tried to use Genshi rev673 but it also won't work. We'll try to upgrade Python to 2.5 but I suppose it's helpless.

[didley@…]

May I have some information about if and when will solved this defect. Is it a defect? Will it be solved in a later release of Trac?

[Christian Boos]

I don't know, I can't reproduce the problem and use latest Trac and Genshi from trunk on Windows XP, with both Python 2.4 and 2.5.

• comment:2 may be a Windows Server 2000 issue
• comment:3 is probably simply due to the Python 2.3 and ​#G175

[didley@…]

Could be a problem with Windows Server 2000.
But my idea is that I need a Visual Studio 2003 compiler when I want using Genshi from trunk. Please have a look to the history of the ticket ​http://genshi.edgewall.org/ticket/174 .
The owner cmlenz of this ticket did change the trunk of genshi after my ticket. So that python can compile the trunk without asking for a Visual Studio 2003 compiler.

Could be that the reason?

Note that you can install Genshi without compiling the C speedup extension, and just use the regular Python implementation by adding argument --without-speedups to the install/easy_install command. That is what I use for my Windows installation on a server that does not have a compiler installed.

easy_install answers me: error: option —without-speedup not recognized

On my Windows box I just get this:

C:\TEMP\genshi>python setup.py build
[...]
**********************************************************************
WARNING:
An optional C extension could not be compiled, speedups will not be
available.
**********************************************************************

So just build it and do not worry about —without-speedups because the option does not exist in Genshi trunk it seems.

[Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven]

Actually, a rephrase:

C:\TEMP\genshi>python setup.py --without-speedups build

works.

[Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven]

*sigh*

Even more mistaken, you need the —without-speedups option, otherwise the build will not continue, contrary to what I said in my first comment.

[Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven]

Using Python 2.5.1 on Windows XP with setuptools 0.6c8, Genshi trunk revision 800, Pygments 0.9 and Trac revision 6570 I can trac-admin initenv a project inside a parent directory and then start tracd with -e pointing to that directory. Connecting on 127.0.0.1 works as expected. I can select my project and access the Trac instance.

So, with using the —without-speedups directly after setup.py everything can be set up correctly. I do not consider this a bug.

Genshi 0.5 when it gets released will have eggs for Windows with speedups.

[Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven]

*double sigh*

I must have done something wrong initially, but when no compiler is detected Genshi will build everything with python setup.py build and disable the speedups.

[Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven]

I cannot reproduce any of the problems.

Please try with current trunks and given my advice in other comments. If you still have the issue, feel free to open again.
