Bernie Hackett added a comment - Apr 03 2012 02:24:26 PM UTC I'm guessing you're getting errors when distutils tries to build the C extensions. I'm seeing the same thing in ActiveState Python. Should be able to fix it. You can install without the extensions for now as a work-around: \path\to\activestate-python setup.py --no_ext install Please note that after running install you have to change directories out of the pymongo source directory before starting the python shell to try out pymongo. We use 2to3 during the build and the module python will try to import from the source directory won't have been converted yet.

If the exception you got during the build process looked like this: building 'bson._cbson' extension Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 288, in <module> **extra_opts File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\core.py", line 152, in setup dist.run_commands() File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 953, in run_commands self.run_command(cmd) File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 972, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\command\build.py", line 127, in run self.run_command(cmd_name) File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\cmd.py", line 326, in run_command self.distribution.run_command(command) File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 972, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "setup.py", line 147, in run build_ext.run(self) File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\command\build_ext.py", line 340, in run self.build_extensions() File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\command\build_ext.py", line 449, in build_extensions self.build_extension(ext) File "setup.py", line 171, in build_extension build_ext.build_extension(self, ext) File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\command\build_ext.py", line 499, in build_extension depends=ext.depends) File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\msvc9compiler.py", line 473, in compile self.initialize() File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\msvc9compiler.py", line 383, in initialize vc_env = query_vcvarsall(VERSION, plat_spec) File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\msvc9compiler.py", line 299, in query_vcvarsall raise ValueError(str(list(result.keys()))) ValueError: [u'path'] Make sure you have installed Visual Studio 2008 (the full version, express won't work on 64bit) and checked "x64 Compilers and Tools" under Visual C++.

Alex Grönholm added a comment - Apr 30 2012 11:57:30 PM UTC The driver needs to be marked with the "Programming Languge :: Python :: 3" specifier to show up correctly in the "Python 3 packages list" in PyPI, and also to get green light on the "Python 3 Wall of Shame". It'd be a nice final touch.

Bernie Hackett added a comment - May 01 2012 12:12:14 AM UTC I've already talked to Brett about "Who's on Python 3". The "Wall of shame" will pick up the 3.1 and 3.2 specifier according to its source. You're right about the "Python 3 packages list". I may upload an edited PKG-INFO to fix that.

Bernie Hackett added a comment - May 01 2012 10:17:21 PM UTC I updated the trove classifiers and uploaded a modified PKG-INFO to pypi. PyMongo shows up in the "Python 3 Packages" list now. It's also properly listed in "Who's on Python 3". The "Python 3 Wall of Shame" seems to only update every few days.
