Allow ANUGA to work with python2.5

[duncan]

Jack added this, describing how to install python 2.5 \anuga_core\documentation\install_win32_python25.txt, So ANUGA can work with python 2.5.

Can python 2.5 be easily installed for ANUGA?

I have an admin install of python2.5 on my PC.

I changed the title of the ticket to allow ANUGA to work with Python 2.5 based on the info that has emerged. It can be closed when ANUGA compiles and runs under Python 2.5 as well as 2.3 and 2.4.

ScientificPython?-2.7.8.win32-py2.5.exe was added.

Numeric-24.2.tar.gz was downloaded. ((​http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1369&package_id=1351))

Did; python setup.py build -c mingw32 install

dowload and install

psyco-1.6.win32-py25.exe (​http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1369&package_id=1351)

Anuga tests and compiles. Yay. Note, it was using mingw installed with python2.4 enthought.

Just got a similar error trying to install

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 24, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 10, in install
WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied
*** run_installscript: internal error 0xFFFFFFFF ***

Numeric installed ok.

I'm trying this install on one of the group computers (31134). I couldn't get anuga to work on python 2.4 or 2.5 on this computer. Compiling didn't work. Confused as to why the install worked on my main work computer.

ANUGA compiles and runs under Python 2.5 as well as 2.3 and 2.4. Installation manual updated changeset:5342

I verified today that ANUGA compiles and runs under Python 2.5 - both at GA on the 'new' Nautilus running Ubuntu and at home on an older machine running Linux Mint. In both cases the Debian package build-essential had to be installed for the C extensions to compile.
