[Buildbot-devel] Looking for suggestions (TrySchedulers - Buildbot 0.9)

Sun Feb 1 20:43:11 UTC 2015

I failed to install Nine following that tutorial.

I was on Win and did everything on a Linux like shell (GitBash). Better do
it on Linux?

First off: do i necesserally need to create a virtualenv? I tried without
(had to install pywin32) and upon buildbot master startup I got:

File "e:\bbsrc\buildbot\master\buildbot\www\service.py", line 121, in
setupSite
    raise RuntimeError("could not find buildbot-www; is it installed?")
exceptions.RuntimeError: could not find buildbot-www; is it installed?

Wanted then to give virualenv a try and repeat - didnt go that far as I
have got no idea how get the virtualenv to see pywin32.
