[twill] Can't run twill-sh

Well, if getting "microsofty" works, I can't argue with it. I did the
easy_install of 0.8.4a5 and now twill-sh works. I stupidly forgot to
paste a complete traceback before I upgraded, so I can't show that. The
twill-sh was and is in /usr/local/bin.
Sorry about no traceback, but because it's changing in 0.8.4, it may not
be worth troubleshooting anyway.
Thanks for the fix, and
Cheers!

Hi, David,
that's an odd one! I can't think of anything twill-specific about that
error message -- which is not to say that it's not caused by twill, just
that I have no idea what's causing it! There have been various Windows
issues, but not this message in particular; plus, you're on Linux ;).
Can you report back on a few things?
- did twill-sh get installed in /usr/bin/ (or /usr/local/bin)?
- is there a traceback of any kind?
I hate to act all Microsoft-y on you, but you might try upgrading to the
latest twill, which does the twill-sh script in a completely different
way. You can get it by doing something like
easy_install -f http://issola.caltech.edu/~t/dist -U twill
or saying
wget http://issola.caltech.edu/~t/dist/twill-0.8.4a5-py2.4.egg
easy_install twill-0.8.4*.egg
cheers,
