I may be doing some Divmod-esque development in the near future, so I figured I'd try to set it up in Windows (so I can code while waiting in my 8000-hour Warcraft battleground queues). Glyph walked me through the process today, so I figure I'd write it down in case I'd ever have to do it again. And this documentation, much like every other bit of Windows documentation I've ever seen, is replete with screenshots. However, to make it less annoying, I've linked to some of those screenshots instead of just plunking them down with an IMG tag.

Edit 2 Nov 2006: Links for OpenSSL and PyOpenSSL have been changed.

Useful tools you may want before you start this.

• 7-zip - useful for decompressing bz2 and gzipped files tar files
• Emacs for Win32

Pre-requisites:

• PuTTY - SSH utils for Windows. Download the Windows installer, rather than download all the programs separately.
• Python 2.4
• Subversion
• OpenSSL and PyOpenSSL - these are hosted by Glyph, and sometimes it goes down, so here are alternate download sites: OpenSSL, PyOpenSSL (This is a FileFront link - since it's not really game-related, they may take it down. You can also try to build it yourself.)
• PyCrypto
• ZopeInterface
• PySQLite
• Python for Windows extensions
