I'm using Windows XP and having trouble getting Sphene installed. This is my first Python experience, so I'm starting from scratch.

These are the steps I've taken so far:

1. Install Apache/MySql. (I installed XAMPP Lite.)
2. Install Python v2.6 to C:\Python26
3. Append "C:\Python26" to my Windows "Path" environment variable.
3. Install mod_wsgi (mod_wsgi-win32-ap22py26-3.0.so).
4. Append ../apache/conf/http.conf:

LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi-win32-ap22py26-3.0.so

5. Run a Hello World test from the mod_wsgi site for "http://localhost/mysite". It works.
6. Install Django; appears in C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\django.
7. Install Python Imaging Library (PIL); appears in C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\PIL.
8. Install PyCrypto; appears in C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\Crypto.
9. Unzipped Sphene to C:\...\My Web Sites\sphene
10. ???

Now what do I do? Your documentation says:

"You need to add sphenecoll/ to your python include path and static/ needs to be served from your django installation. (static/sphene/ is enough)"

Let's break that down:

1. "add sphenecoll/ to your python include path"

How do I do that? In the Python command line:

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.append('C:\...\My Web Sites\sphene\communitytools\sphenecoll')

Is that right?

2. "static/ needs to be served from your django installation. (static/sphene/ is enough)"

What does that mean? Copy "../static/sphene" into "../django"? That seems wrong?

Also, don't I have to create an "apache" directory under "C:\...\My Web Sites\sphene" to hold files such as "__init__.py" and "sphene.wsgi"? If so, what should the contents of sphene.wsgi be?

Thanks.
