Question

i downloaded Qooxdoo, then ActivePython and installed it as in this tutorial http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/1.1/helloworld. When I follow the instructions I get the following results:

1. C:\qooxdoo-1.1-sdk\tool\bin\create-application.py
--name=custom --out=C: – this command opens a “create-application” wordfile.
2. cd C:\custom
3. inside c:\custom I typed generate.py source-all but I got the following error

‘generate.py’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

What’s gone wrong? I’m stuck.

Answer 1

In order to execute .pys from the command line on Windows like that you’ll need to add .py to your PATHEXT environment variable.

You might also need to make sure that ActivePython’s bin directory is in your path. If it is, you can then equivalently run python generate.py.
