I'm using the latest versions of PN2 (2.0.8.718), and the only version of python I have installed is 2.5 (in cygwin and in c:/python25, the later of which is in my windows path environment variable).
I've unzipped PyPN 0.8 into the PN2 directory (c:/program files/Programmers Notepad), but when I run "pn --findexts" I get a message saying:

pn.exe - Unable To Locate Component
This application has failed to start because python25.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

I've tried reinstalling PN2 over top of itself and recopying PyPN, but still no go.

A couple of side things:
it would be nice to have a page dedicated to PyPN which includes installation instructions and errors that come up (or links to key forum threads on the subject.

And:
How actively used are the sourceforge trackers (bug reports/feature requests) (as compared to this forum)?

Documentation for how to install PyPN: http://pnotepad.org/docs/HowTo/InstallPyPN

However, that doesn't cover the weirdness with your install. On my system c:\python25 isn't on the path, but it would appear it gets found in c:\windows\system32 where I presume the python installer places it. Do you have python25.dll in your system32 directory?

I'm using the default python distribution for windows from http://python.org/

Finally, the sourceforge trackers are used but are being migrated to google: http://code.google.com/p/pnotepad/issues/list

The trackers are used to drive development of PN.

I should add that this is the best place to start for support, as it's viewed and answered by more than just me. A few others occasionally check the bugs but the forums are more actively monitored.

I'm trying pypn-0.7.705-py25 (where is pypn-0.8 btw?) with pn208718 and pn --findexts complains that python24.dll is not found (I don't have python2.4). Using Dependency-Walker it seems that the python2.5 pypn.dll has a dependency on python24.dll.
