Python help?

[Tilda]

Hio all,

So Windows RT has been unlocked to run ARM-compiled programs.
I'm trying to run a flashcard program called Anki, i have the source from its website here: http://ankisrs.net/anki2.html as a tgz file.
I've unzipped it all, and unzipped Python 2.7

How do I make one thing work the other thing? If I open python I can get a command box up - am I supposed to type something in it? I can't run Anki directly, am I supposed to open it with something from Python?

Help anybody?

at a very rough guess...you're going to have to set python to be the program that opens anything with the extension .py

You don't need python help you need windows help. On a mac or Linux machine I can run the code no problem, but I have no idea what to do for windows.

Can you find the
runanki
file and try and run it, see if that will do anything (like give a useful error message)

Cadelin, I have the runanki file, but its just a file, it has no extension.
When I click it, it opens the "what do you want to open this with"?

Ok...

If you open runanki as a text file:

#!/usr/bin/env python
 
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, "/usr/share/anki")
import aqt
aqt.run()

If you get up your python prompt you can copy the lines:

import sys
import aqt
aqt.run()

I believe your code will fail at the import aqt step, because that tries to itself import some external modules that are not released for windows RT. I am not sure I can exactly walk you through getting it to work, if it is simple someone will shortly bring out an RT version.
