Installed Python 2.7.4 (first tried 64-bit and then 32-bit - same error both times). Here is what I got:

C:\allmydata-tahoe-1.10.0>c:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 73, in <module>
    egg = os.path.realpath(glob.glob('setuptools-*.egg')[0])

Previously I was able to build but had other problems (I remember the first error was something like "dep missing").

Thank you for the bug report! I think the error message you posted is missing some lines, though. The end of the error message should say what went wrong with the egg = os.path.realpath(glob.glob('setuptools-*.egg')[0]) line. Could you paste the whole output in here?

Just re ran it and this is the entire output:

C:\allmydata-tahoe-1.10.0>c:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 73, in <module>
    egg = os.path.realpath(glob.glob('setuptools-*.egg')[0])
IndexError: list index out of range

This is odd. What's the output of dir in the directory containing setup.py?

I hope sp comes back and gives us more information and re-opens this ticket. In the meantime let's close it, because we can't reproduce this problem without sp's help.

Im curious why its not building for you. I built Tahoe 1.10 on windows 8.1 and it seems to work fine. I did have to add some dependencies like win32 to python but after that it built and ran. So far so good, I did see that same error without the win32 python script.

Tahoe is not supposed to require pywin32 on Windows. It might do due to changes in recent versions of Twisted, but that's a regression.

The pywin32 issue is probably #2028.
