Python code on Windows

• Install Python 2.7 (this step is already done if you are following the instructions above),

• Add Python to the PATH environmental variable

• Follow the instructions in README file in directory $(BIGARTM_ROOT)/3rdparty/protobuf/python/. In brief, this instructions ask you to run the following commands:

  python setup.py build
  python setup.py test
  python setup.py install
  

  On second step you fill see two failing tests:

  Ran 216 tests in 1.252s
  FAILED (failures=2)
  

  This 2 failures are OK to ignore.

At this point you should be able to run BigARTM tests for Python, located under $(BIGARTM_ROOT)/python/tests/.

• [Optional] Download and add to MSVS Python Tools 2.0. All necessary instructions can be found at https://pytools.codeplex.com/. This will allow you debug you Python scripts using Visual Studio. You may start with the following solution: $(BIGARTM_ROOT)/src/artm_vs2012.sln.
