Python 3.4.2

[dominicbastone]

Hi All,

 

I need to install python 3.4.2 across our school site we currently have a RM CC4 network, i have downloaded the msi from there website and gone through the RM wizard to package build it. I obviously need students to be able to access the files and i know it uses cmd which our students cant access.

 

I can remember something had to be done on the install when i was doing python 2.7.4 to make this all work properly.

 

If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great. The package i created will not install on the machines it keeps coming up package failed.

 

Any help would be great

 

Thanks

 

Dom

I think when I last packaged Python (version 3.4) I just had to import the MSI directly into the CC4 management console.

 

If you've not done this before download the python MSI and from the management console go to File -> Import -> Package. Choose CC3 package and browse for the downloaded MSI installer (you will need to change the file type drop down from CC3 package to All files to see the MSI file). Then just adjust any package properties eg. operating system type etc.

Ok thanks for that how did you sort the program set out for this package too?

To avoid using the command prompt. Use the included Idle GUI.

Deploy a shortcut pointing to: pythonw.exe "C:\Python34\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw"
