Can't run Win32 Debugger outside PythonWin

Post #1 of 3 (1334 views)

I just upgraded my NT4 SP3 Workstation to Python 1.5.2 and
win32all build 124. Unluckily I can't start the debugger any
longer from outside PythonWin.
That is, typing

pywin.debugger.fail

works fine, but running fail.py from the shell gives

D:\Programme\Python\Pythonwin\pywin\debugger>fail.py
Traceback (innermost last):
File "D:\Programme\Python\Pythonwin\pywin\debugger\fail.py", line 50, in ?
a()
File "D:\Programme\Python\Pythonwin\pywin\debugger\fail.py", line 18, in a
pywin.debugger.post_mortem(sys.exc_info()[2])
File "D:\Programme\Python\Pythonwin\pywin\debugger\__init__.py", line 75, in p
ost_mortem
p = _GetCurrentDebugger()
File "D:\Programme\Python\Pythonwin\pywin\debugger\__init__.py", line 28, in _
GetCurrentDebugger
currentDebugger = debugger.Debugger()
AttributeError: Debugger

It seems the Scintilla.DLL can't be found (even the latest update from the
author's hompage). However, sys.path is OK:

D:\Programme\Python\Pythonwin\pywin\debugger>python

[The German error msg says "module not found"]

Sorry, I don't see this error myself. As a temporary workaround you
could try copying Scintilla.DLL into the windows or windows system
directory (often called \winnt\system32). I hope Mark has some more
insight into this as I don't understand how Python manipulates the path.

That is the best idea for now. However, you will need to remember to delete
it when a new pythonwin build comes out (fairly soon)
