[WIP] Kerminal: Terminal Interface to KSP via Telemachus

[Makarismos]

So I got this far following the setup guide:

If you don't already have Python 3.4, download and install it from here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-342/

//so I downloaded the "Windows x86-64 MSI installer" from that address, and tried to install it..

//seems to work. I had previously installed, so no need to adjust the path, but I did that before.

Download and install the unofficial curses binary library for Python 3.4 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#curses

//So I went there, and downloaded this: [curses-2.2-cp35-none-win_amd64.whl] I had no idea how to install a binary, so I looked for instructions. //This gave me a load of errors, so I used this instead: curses‑2.2‑cp34‑none‑win_amd64.whl - installed. In the process I have found that you use the "Python Pip -m install XX.wrl" command from the c:\ prompt, not from inside Python itself - Good to know!

Download the npyscreen2 source code from GitHub and unzip: https://github.com/SavinaRoja/npyscr...ive/master.zip

Download the Kerminal source code from GitHub and unzip: https://github.com/SavinaRoja/Kermin...ive/master.zip

Open the command prompt (cmd.exe) and install both the npsycreen2 and Kerminal packages by executing their setup.py files with a command like "C:\Python34\python.exe setup.py install"

//Seemed simple, downloaded it and installed in a new directory, ran the setup file "Setup.py"//likewise, simples. Remember: Make sure you are installing things from within the directory that contains the setup.py file! This took out more than an hour :/ (I am such a newb).

A script called "kerminal" will then be put in C:\Python34\Scripts which one will execute with C:\Python34\python.exe ("C:\Python34\python.exe kerminal") from the command prompt. This will start the Kerminal.

//Well "kerminal" is there, but the command from c:\ mentioned [C:\Python34\python.exe kerminal"] doesn't run. I have checked my path, and the scripts folder is there... Hmmm. All I am getting is

c:\python34\python.exe: can't open file 'kerminal'; [errno 2] No such file or directory

So yeah, im probably missing something obvious. I will keep trying. If anyone with super powers sees this, feel free to send some sensu beans my way...

------------------------

Later...

I have gone back and properly installed npyscreen2 and kerminal, I now get a (hopefully final) error which is: "No module named 'Terminos'"

Methinks I need to reinstall telamanchus! Will report back....
