DIY Plone Styles & Limi's tutorial Part 4

Installed OK in Plone 3 on Windows XP x64. But Uninstalled
as per tutorial
and then tried the command line 

On Limi's tutorial A Real-World Example Part4: A proper
foundation at the
part:

cd Products/DIYPloneStyle

   python bin/generator.py --productname MyTheme


In a command window I need to use python.exe (tried no
extension and full
path neither work) and then I get error:
C:....python.exe is not a valid Win32 application

If I substitute the python.exe from the Plone 3 install then
it runs and
says pyhton24.dll is missing. Add this and I get an error:
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bingenerator.py", line 4, in ?
import os, sys, optparse
ImportError: No module named os

Did I unzip with WinZip (against recommendation)? - Yes
guilty is this what
has cause the problem?

I just got this to work after multiple attempts. The problem
seemed to be
that windows still hasn't got used to spaces in file names.
and so thought
that C:Program was supposed to be a program....

Here's what I did (Windows XP 32):
move DIYPloneStyles folder to C:
run cmd
cd C:Program FilesPlone 3Python
python C:DIYPloneStylesbingenerator.py
--productname=MyTheme

A folder named MyTheme will now show up in C:Program
FilesPlone 3Python.
Note: no extension used on "python", and
"=" after "productname".

Hope this helps,
Iain

Iain,

I've gotten into the habit of telling the Windows Installer
to put my 
Plone at: C:Plone2 (Now C:Plone3) for this very reason.
It also puts 
it in plain view when I open my C: drive in Windows
Explorer

Thanks for the help. There was another solution by
experimentation I hit upon
this which worked.

I had to move to the ..Plone 3Python folder and then
execute
python "c:...DIYPloneStylebingenerate.py"
--productname MyTheme

Note the " marks but this created the directory and sub
contents in the
Python directory not the Products directory. So I just moved
it over.
