I'm trying to get PyQt5 working with WinPython. PyQt5 comes with a readme file for installation, and I have unsuccessfully tried a few combinations of what I thought the first part of the readme tells me to do.
I have:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
WinPython-64bit-2.7.9.1
Qt 5.4
PyQt-gpl-5.4
PyQt-gpl-5.4 is in the folder (only partially sure that this is where I should have put it)
C:\WinPython-64bit-2.7.9.1\python-2.7.9.amd64\Lib\site-packages\PyQt-gpl-5.4
My current attempt at getting everything working is: I'm trying to run the configure.py file in PyQt-gpl-5.4, but when I do so I consistently get the following error:
Error: PyQt5 requires Qt v5.0 or later. You seem to be using v4.8.6.
Make sure the correct version of qmake is on your PATH.
What I think is the required version of qmake being referred to is in the folder
C:\Qt\5.4\mingw491_32\bin
However, I have no idea how to fix the error by adding the qmake in this folder to PATH. My most recent attempt was to add the folder using Spyder's Tools->PYTHONPATH manager, but this made no difference. I also tried adding it using sys.path.append('C:\Qt\5.4\mingw491_32\bin'), but this didn't work either. I have since removed the folder name from both of these locations.
How do I get PyQt5 working with WinPython-64bit-2.7.9.1, or I think equivalently, how to I get the configure.py file in the PyQt-gpl-5.4 folder to run?
Thanks.
You definitely don't want the source code (i.e. PyQt-gpl-5.4) in the site-packages folder, because that's where the compiled modules will end up. Instead, it should just go in a temporary folder whilst you compile it.
When you run configure.py, you must take care to use the executable for the specific python that you are targeting. I do not know anything about WinPython, but for a normal python installation this means doing something like this:
C:\Python34\python configure.py
As a first step, before attempting to actually compile anything, it would be advisable to take at look at all the configuration options that are available, like this:
C:\Python34\python configure.py --help
(There's also the Installing PyQt5 section in the PyQt Docs).
This will tell you, for instance, that the simplest way to specify the Qt installation you are targeting would be something like this:
C:\Python34\python configure.py --qmake C:\Qt\5.4\mingw491_32\bin\qmake
EDIT:
Sorry, that last part is wrong: the --qmake option isn't available on Windows, so you have to add the directory containing the qmake executable to your PATH. This can be done with the following command:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Qt\5.4\mingw491_32\bin
On windows after running the grunt build command for creating brackets shell it gives done without errors but i dont see any .exe file generated..
What might be the problem???
Here are some possible solutions:
Are you following the full brackets-shell build instructions, including all prerequisites?
Make sure Brackets isn't running at the same time. The build will fail silently if the .exe file is currently in use (see bug).
Try with a fresh git clone of the repo. If your brackets-shell local copy has been around for a while, sometimes the build & deps folders can get in a bad state. (I'm assuming you haven't modified the source at all. If you have, try with an unmodified copy of the source first to make sure it builds correctly without any of your changes).
Check that python --version shows 2.7.x
Verbose build output would also be helpful in diagnosing issues like this, but unfortunately there's not yet an easy way to get that...
If you follow the instructions on bracket-shell's wiki page, the Windows executable should be created in the Release directory.
I followed all the step is mention in given below url to build my project( I am using win7 OS).
https://github.com/adobe/brackets-shell/wiki/Building-brackets-shell.
actullly i want to create brackets installer (installed wix 3.7).
but i am getting cef-extract failed error.
even though i also used grunt cef-extract --force.
after that its throunging new error.
create -project failed after that i am not able to process further.
can some one help me.
thanks in advanced.

If you include the exact console output you're seeing, it would be much easier to help you. But based on snags other people have encountered recently, you can try these things:
Make sure your PATH includes Python 2.7 (otherwise "create-project" will fail).
Delete all these folders to be sure you're starting from a clean slate: deps, Debug, include, libcef_dll, Release, Resources.
Just run the high-level tasks grunt setup and grunt build, following the Building brackets-shell instructions. (There's a known bug where grunt cef-extract fails when run standalone).
Is it possible to make copied of plone/zope folder on the file system and still be able to run the site?
At the moment when I try to start it, it says
bash: ./bin/instance: /home/atf/Plone-3.3.6/Python-2.4/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
looking for python in the old folder. How can I update this and are other things likely to be broken after fixing this?
It currently thinks your python is at:
/home/atf/Plone-3.3.6/Python-2.4/bin/python
Just re-run bootstrap with the new python:
/path/to/where/python/is/now bootstrap.py
Then
./bin/buildout
Trying to set up LESS for CSS on my Windows box, I've installed ruby and rubygems and followed the instructions exactly.
I have put teststyle.less in C:\.
When I type
lessc teststyle.less
to compile it into a .css file, I get an error:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Out of those familiar with LESS, do any of you have a solution to my problem?
Did I mess up the install?
If you don't want to use GUI to compile LESS on Windows, there is a clean way to get lessc command on Windows command line. It only requires you to install node.js, which is required by original lessc anyway.
So, install node.js (http://nodejs.org/) and install "less" module for node.js. The latter provides lessc executable (lessc.cmd on Windows) as well, so you should only make sure it gets under your PATH in Windows.
If you don't have node.js yet, here are step-by-step instructions:
Install node.js (http://nodejs.org/)
In new command-line, go to node.js installation directory (where node.exe is located), and execute > npm install less (make sure you do so from node.js installation directory only)
Latter downloads less module for node.js, as well as lessc.cmd to node_modules/.bin/ directory. Add this directory to PATH
Now, in new command line you may enjoy the use of lessc as usual

You should look at http://www.dotlesscss.org/, less ported to C# and specifically designed for .NET. You can use either a handler or compile.
Been using it for about six months, it's great.
Oops...saw windows and assumed dot net, perhaps that's not your environment. If not, never mind...
Edit:
lessc does work on Windows now. See the Github page about commandline LESS tools for installation and usage instructions. The Github page with a list of LESS GUI tools might also be interesting.
Original answer:
The lessc command line tool for less.js doesn't work on Windows. If you want command line compiling of your LESS files you should check out this post.
Also be sure to check out WinLess. WinLess is a compiler (with GUI) for LESS. WinLess can watch your LESS files, and automatically compile them when they have changed.
If you are using Visual Studio for your projects you should also check out the BuildEventScript of winless.org.
Be sure to check which compiler is being used when you are using different programs to compile your LESS code. If you are using programs which use different compilers you should watch out for interoperability issues (LESS code working correctly with one compiler, but not with another).
FYI, I found this Windows command line tool to compile LESS into CSS useful. It uses less.js to do the compilation. The command syntax is not very graceful, but it works well.

I just started using Crunch to compile Bootstrap and its pretty awesome. Its built on Adobe Air, which you will have to install if you don't already have it.
I think I found the problem. In my first installation I installed to C:\Program Files\Ruby
so I uninstalled and tried the default 'C:\Ruby' install path. Seems to fix the problem and it now works correctly. Thanks.
I have a recompiled version of DotlessCss that can accept less code from standard input and output the css code to the standard output. I have attached it at the following link LESS CSS Compiler for Windows
Only this https://github.com/leafo/lessphp PHP compiler didn't crashed with my crazy project structure with CSS imports in LESS, etc.
Very simple shell command for compiling LESS to CSS:
plessc input.less > output.css
You can use Prepros App for windows. It can compile less, sass, jade, stylus, markdown, coffeescript and haml with live browser refresh.
