The slithering python

Today we've done some structured work in trying to stomp out the "bag magic number" issue people have been running into when using windows. More in detail we have tried to replace all existing pre-compiled python modules with versions compiled with exactly 2.6.4, which is also the python version used to compile the windows nightly build.

I have now manually uploaded an extra "nightly" build, so these changes are online now.

If you have had problems with "bad magic number", please do the following:

  • Remove all traces of prior versions of makehuman on your system
  • For testing reasons, please uninstall all existing python versions (you can reinstall them later)
  • Make really super mega sure you don't have a file called "python26.dll" or "python25.dll" anywhere on your system, including the windows folder
  • Download and unzip the latest nightly build

As this is the version most up to date don't click the "update.bat" or download the .7z archive yet. You can follow the "smart update procedure" later on if the nightly build works for you now.
