| 47 Non-Python2.3 users may need to `install the "CSV" module`_. | |
| 48 | |
| 49 Install the "CSV" module | |
| 50 ------------------------ | |
| 51 | |
| 52 Note: CSV stands for Comma-Separated-Value. These files are used by all | |
| 53 manner of programs (eg. spreadsheets) to exchange data. | |
| 54 | |
| 55 The "CSV" module is required if you wish to import or export data in the | |
| 56 tracker, or if you wish to use the online generic class editing facility. | |
| 57 | |
| 58 If you're using a version of Python older than 2.3, then you will need to | |
| 59 install the "CSV" module from `Object Craft`_. Users of Python2.3 and later | |
| 60 don't need to. If you have a C compiler installed, then download the source | |
| 61 and follow their installation instructions (simply ``python setup.py | |
| 62 install``.) | |
| 63 | |
| 64 If you're on Windows and don't have a C compiler, then you'll need to | |
| 65 download the pre-compiled ``csv.pyd`` file and install it. To install, just | |
| 66 copy it to your Python installation in the ``lib\site-packages`` directory. | |
| 67 For Python 2.2, this would be:: | |
| 68 | |
| 69 c:\python22\lib\site-packages | |
| 70 | |
| 71 Once the CSV module is installed, you *must* restart roundup-server if it | |
| 72 is already running, or the new module won't be detected. | |
| 73 | |
| 74 If you're on some other platform and don't have a C compiler, you'll need | |
| 75 to ask for help on the roundup-users mailing list. | |
