::Beta Testing::

If you want to test the latest XPN version you can try downloading it from the CVS.
Alternatively you can download it from here: tgz filexpn-1.2.5beta1.tar.gz

This version requires Sqlite, it is embedded in Python 2.5, but if you are using Python 2.4 you'll need also to download PySqlite.

Code is multiplatform, you can use it on the OS you want.

Please let me know if you find bugs or different problems.

::Introduction::

There are three XPN distributions, one is the source distribution and the other two are the binary win32 distributions.

Source version needs the Python interpreter, GTK and PyGTK. This version works on the platforms supported by python and gtk. Source version doesn't require installation.

Binary versions instead work only on Windows. The first one (the larger one, xpn-1.0.0-bin-win32.zip) includes in a single package all the necessary (i.e. you don't need to download Python, GTK and PyGTK). Moreover it is shipped with an installer. If you have problems starting it try adding to your Path these two paths c:\path\to\xpn\GTK\lib and c:\path\to\xpn\GTK\bin

The second binary version (xpn-1.0.0-bin-noGTK-win32.zip)is very similar to the first one but it doesn't ship GTK libraries, so you have to download and install them by yourself (you can find the link below). This is useful if you have already installed GTK libs for a different program, you may download a smaller XPN package.

::Source Version Requirements::

XPN is written with Python and GTK+2 toolkit. In order to run it you have to install:

I have used (with success) XPN source version on Linux and Windows (2000, XP)

Note for Windows users. Those who uses Linux probably will find Python a GTK on their distribution CD. Windows users will also need PyCairo and PyGobject, they can download the software from these links:

GTK runtims can be found also on this web-site GTK and Gimp Installers for Windows.
Once you have installed Python you have to add its directory to the path. Do the same for the "lib" directory of GTK (installer can do it for you). Now install pygtk pycairo and pygobject and everything should work.

XPN doesn't require an installation. Unzip the tarball and launch xpn.py.

Precompiled Packages

You can find xpn precompiled for some linux and *BSD distributions. I know that it is available for Debian, Arch Linux, Mac OS X (darwinports) and FreeBSD.
