[tahoe-dev] Python beginner trying to build for development testing

[Peter Secor]

Hi Chris,

   The project now has source code available for a full Windows build, 
but the documentation is not really complete.

http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-w32-client/wiki

   Feel free to browse and see how we built an XP/Vista installer and 
also used py2exe.
