I really wanted this so I just installed Python 3.3.0, and tried to install howdoi.

Seemingly I could not compile lxml, but that was sorted out getting a binary here

Problem is, when I run howdoi, it gives me this:

  File "howdoi.py", line 81
    print instructions
                     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Why? I am completely clueless and know nothing about Python to sort it out. I have all dependencies (even installed argparse just now, seeing this)

Edit: just in case it matters, I installed using pip install howdoi, then I tried the setup.py later, and even tried it all again after installing the lxml binary for Windows, but still nothing happens. Oh, and I have the python directory in my path, also python/Scripts one. Tested on Windows XP 32-bit.

Sorry for the trouble, CamiloMM. howdoi currently only works with Python <=2.7. Please try installing Python 2.7 for Windows (the link is http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/python-2.7.3.msi) and giving it another go!

Thanks for the quick response @gleitz . Do I have to uninstall Python 3.3?

A fine question! I don't think that is required but it might reduce confusion.

You might also want to install pip using this guide (which I found using howdoi, haha!)

That's inceptastic! I'm posting now to confirm that it works - however I installed pip with this handy installer.

Ah, such awesome goodness right in the commandline!

At first I thought "what are you talking about?" and then I noticed that the guy that made those installers available has such a title :D
