[IPython-user] installation problem

[Uwe Fechner]

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 pyreadline.rlmain

    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?
