There is an easy way to run core without installing it as side-package:
- download core
- read README.rst
- run pwb.py and answer a number of questions that auto-create a user-config.py or
copy and paste your old user_config.py into the topmost folder of core
- run your script using
pwb.py <scriptname>[<options>]
I disliked installing core because I was running and developing bot scripts in both
branches. We created that pwb.py wrapper script during Berlin hackathon as an easy way to
have both branches in an easy to use manner without virtualizing environments.

Betreff: Re: [Pywikipedia-l] Deprecation of compat
To me, the actual functionality of core is zero. I
have tried to install it
three or four times, and failed every time. Just to check again, I did
another attempt. First, trying to download and run compat:
download compat
try to run
answer a number of questions that auto-create a user-config.py
ready
Now core:
download core
read INSTALL
try 'python setup.py install'
** 'Python is not recognized as a command'
ok, we're running window, so 'setup.py install' instead
** something is downloaded, all kind of files are being copied
** error: Setup script exited with error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat
Check the internet (Stack Overflow) and see that it means that the setup
program assumes that Visual Studio is installed
Check the internet for a download for Visual Studio
** Not free, just a 90 day free trial
Say blergh and give up

Thank you in advance in the name of the planet and mankind.
And sorry for reacting so sharply but we have had enough trouble in the
last year because of partially based developments.
