Question

I am a complete novice to the python world and have recently been asked to migrate a legacy application that runs on Python 2.4.15, SOAPpy Module & fpconst.

While installing SOAPpy 0.12.4 on the machine, I get an error saying that its unable to locate fpconst eventhough it has been installed on the server.

PFB the steps followed

1. Installed Python 2.4.15
2. Installed setuptools-0.6c11.win32-py2.4.exe
3. Installed wstools-0.3
4. installed fpconst-0.7.2

import fpconst
fpconst.version
‘0.7.2’

1. Tried to install SOAPpy 0.12.4 but receiving an error saying

Installed d:\python2.4\lib\site-packages\soappy-0.12.4-py2.4.egg

Error: No local packages or download links found ..

Go here -> decompress the file -> open a cmd and cd dir to SOAPpy files -> type python setup.py install to run it.

Then run IDE to check it, by import SOAPpy.
