Instructions for Vision Egg 1.2.1

If in doubt about how to install from a .egg file, use the corresponding .exe file instead.

with Python 2.5

First, download and install these dependencies:

• python-2.5.4.msi

• PIL-1.1.6.win32-py2.5.exe

• PyOpenGL-2.0.2.01.py2.5-numpy24.exe (VE 1.2 has issues with PyOpenGL 3.0 on Windows. See SF#2817196)

• pygame-1.8.0.win32-py2.5.msi

• numpy-1.3.0-win32-superpack-python2.5.exe

• setuptools-0.6c8.win32-py2.5.exe

Next, download and install a Vision Egg binary compiled for Python 2.5:

• visionegg-1.2.1.win32-py2.5.exe, or visionegg-1.2.1-py2.5-win32.egg

Optional:

• QuickTime

with Python 2.6

PyOpenGL 3.0 (the only PyOpenGL available for Python 2.6) has a bug that prevents the VE from working properly on Windows. Use PyOpenGL 2 and Python 2.5 until it's fixed. The bug report (SF#2817196)

First, download and install these dependencies:

• python-2.6.6.msi

• PIL-1.1.6.win32-py2.6.exe

• PyOpenGL-3.0.1.win32.exe

• pygame-1.8.1release.win32-py2.6.msi

• numpy-1.3.0-win32-superpack-python2.6.exe

• ssetuptools-0.6c9.win32.exe

Next, download and install the Vision Egg binary compiled for Python 2.6. I will upload them to PyPI once the PyOpenGL bug is fixed:

• visionegg-1.2.1.win32-py2.6.exe, or visionegg-1.2.1-py2.6-win32.egg

Optional:

• QuickTime
