Hi all,

I hope this post does not sound like spam but I think it will help a lot of users to get the files ready as soon as possible.

As you know python is not optimized for the new technologies used in the CPUs, in the other end there is pypy.

Unfortunately the pre-compiled version of pypy for windows does not include the tkinter module and to install it you will need to compile a new version.

So what I did was install a virtual machine with Ubuntu on my native Windows installation and use the skeinforge inside.

Of course if you have a native Ubuntu instalation it will also work

The original post is here -> http://robosavvy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9054

But I leave the steps here for a 32 bit machine

wget [buildbot.pypy.org] 
tar xjf pypy-c-jit-latest-linux.tar.bz2 
cd pypy-c-jit-*-linux 
wget [peak.telecommunity.com] 
./bin/pypy ez_setup.py 
wget [www.foobarsoft.com] 
unzip tkinter-pypy-0.1-for-8.5.zip 
cd tkinter-pypy-0.1-for-8.5 
../bin/pypy ./setup.py install 
cd ../../ 
mv pypy-c-jit-*-linux pypy

Cheers,
Nuno
