Install Pymedia on Windows with Python 2.6

Question

I am trying to install the latest version of Pymedia from sources. I have Python2.6 and no binaries available.

Let's start with:

python setup.py build 

and received the following messages:

 Using WINDOWS configuration... Path for OGG not found. Path for VORBIS not found. Path for FAAD not found. Path for MP3LAME not found. Path for VORBISENC not found. Path for ALSA not found. Continue building pymedia ? [Y,n]:Y 

After placing the source code for OGG and VORBIS in the directory where I installed the pymedia source code, he was able to find these libraries. But when I entered the source code of libmp3lame-3.95 in this directory, he could not find it.

After reading the setup.py pymedia file, I also tried putting the dll for this library in libmp3lame / Release, but it still could not find it.

Can anyone help? Is there a binary distribution for Pymedia using Python 2.6 or higher?

There is also a version for python2.7

Answer 2

You need to install all these modules in different ways ( python setup.py install ).

These other modules are just prerequisites for pymedia and must be installed before installing pymedia. This is some kind of pain with some libraries, and there are alternatives to take care of installing everything for you.
