 Hello,

 I was trying to install ipython on windows xp, but I get the following
 error message
 during the post install script:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<string>", line 76, in ?
   File "<string>", line 15, in install
   File "C:\PYTHON23\Lib\site-packages\IPython\__init__.py", line 60, in ?
     __import__(name,glob,loc,[])

     import IPython.rlineimpl as readline
   File "C:\PYTHON23\Lib\site-packages\IPython\rlineimpl.py", line 18, in ?
     import pyreadline.rlmain
   File "C:\PYTHON23\Lib\site-packages\pyreadline\__init__.py", line 9, in
 ?
     import logger,clipboard,lineeditor,modes

     validkey =set(['cancel',     'backspace',    'tab',          'clear',
 NameError: name 'set' is not defined
 *** run_installscript: internal error 0xFFFFFFFF ***

 I installed:
 ------------
 python 2.3.5
 ctypes-1.0.1.win32-py2.3.exe
 pyreadline-1.4.2.win32.exe
 pywin32-210.win32-py2.3.exe

 Any idea how to fix this problem?
