help with HTSeq installation

[madhuk11]

Hi,
I am trying to install HTSeq-0.5.3p3 from the source package (as I failed to use available HTSeq-0.3.7 binary package with python 2.6). Downloaded into a Downloads folder and tried as advised for Windows (at http://www-huber.embl.de/users/ander...c/install.html). Ended up with cc1.exe error with options -mno-cygwin (I have both mingw and cygwin on the system, but removed cygwin later!).
Buidling and Installation were successful without specifying the compiler (python setup.py build; python setup.py install) in the commandline shell. However, I did not detect any HTSeq packages added to site-packages folder. Below is the output on the screen.

running install
running bdist_egg
running egg_info

Do I need to transfer any files/folder manually into python?
Thanks.

After running "python setup.py build", have you also run "python setup.py install"? The latter moves the files to were they will be found by Python.

Yes. After install command, I saw the screen telling me successful installation (and pasted the log in my last posting, setupTools installed). I did not see any files moved to Lib\site-packages. When I say,
>>>import numpy
>>> (successful)
>>>import HTSeq
Not found!
I had earlier tried using HTSeq-0.3.7 (binary package) that was installed and HTSeq could be found in Lib\site-packages. However, import HTSeq gave me an error (numpy.pxd; numpy 1.6.1 wasn't proper?).

I retried (uninstalling Python 2.6, numpy and then, reinstalling); following the log below, still could not locate HTSeq in site-packages folder.

Could not import 'setuptools', falling back to 'distutils'.
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
building 'HTSeq._HTSeq' extension
error: None

Yet, when I inspect HTSeq folder, nothing seem to have happened!

Binary packages seem to install o.k. However, failed to execute (numpy.pxd!). Do I really need numpy-devel? I don't see it at PyPI site.
Thanks.

HTSeq 0.5.3p3 binary

Is it possible to obtain a binary version of HTSeq 0.5.3p3 as available 0.3.7 does not work with numpy 1.6.1. I have been managing counting with a java code; I can not use annotation files (gff; that would make better sense) with my code; so, it is now restricted to using cDNA index for alignments. If you are willing to send it, I can give you my email id. Thanks.

I tried to install HTseq 0.5.3 source package, but Xcode is not installed on my computer, and I cannot get it installed now. Do anyone know where i can get the binary package of HTseq, which doesnot require Xcode installed?
