Description
The instructions for installation do not really work for Windows.
So I installed PIL for Windows from http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/. easy_install PyCaptcha does not work and I cannot find any package on the net, so I skipped that. Then I installed the plugin from this source http://trac-hacks.org/changeset/latest/tracdownloaderplugin/0.11?old_path=/&filename=tracdownloaderplugin/0.11&format=zip This worked after commenting out the requires line with """ around it.
However, after this any access to trac makes apache/mod_python crash.
How can I disable or uninstall tracdownloader? I cannot find a way to do it or where I might be able to remove it from some configuration file.

Hi,
yes the thing about ClearSilver (CS) is that older version of Trac used only this as templating system, so Downloader was written using CS. From Trac 0.11, there is (hopefully better) templating system Genshi used. As I've checked it and as you wrote CS binary for Windows is availible only for Python 2.3 and 2.4. So the solution could be using of Python 2.4 for whole Trac, which shouldn't be problem. You can (I think) have installed both Pythons (2.4 and 2.5), if you need for some other application newest version.
So that's it. I hope that soon I'll find some time to rewrite all Downloader to Genshi. ;o)
Bye!
Replying to anonymous:
Sorry, it has turned out to be a rather obscure iconv problem. mod_python/svn-python-bindings were suddenly using an iconv directory/version that didn't match with the apache iconv. So, the crash was unrelated to tracdownloader. Nevertheless and unfortunately, tracdownloader cannot be used on Windows as it still requires clearsilver (some note in changelog or so made me believe it isn't anymore) and this is only available in Python 2.4 as a binary.
