I have got python2.6 installed on my windows machine.

tried to install twisted package but unable to install it.

Also installed the zope interface

On the python interpretor I get the error as :

  >>>import twisted
  >>>Import Error: No Module named twisted

I installed the package twisted succesfully.

I have downloded the zope interface . But the document http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/WindowsBuilds does not clearly explain about the zope interface.

How do I install this zope interface ?

Any help will be valuable .

Thanks, Tazim.
