[Templates] Hello. Regarding using activestate to install template toolkit

[Noah Scales]

Hello, everybody, how do you do.

After an hour of monkeying with ppd files and supositories, I managed to add the openinteract and bugzilla supositories to my activestate preferences. Activestate refused to acknowledge that it downloaded PPD's in the count listing inside the supository listing window of my Windows XP version of Activestate's package manager. Switching to an older version of Activestate (5.8 instead of 5.1) solved the problem immediately, and I could use the openinteract supository http://openinteract.sourceforge.net/ppmpackages/ without further trouble. 

If the documentation of windows installs could be updated with a few words about Activestate versions ("be sure your version of Activestate is compatible with the available PPM's before you use this supository"), and the basic function of Activestate supositories ("just add the Openinteract or Bugzilla supositories to your PPM supository list") or something, that would be relieving.  My superficial analysis of the issues involved might mean that my suggestions won't fit. I'd be glad to learn more about the issues involved with PPM supositories and windows installs from anyone with an interest.

Naturally, to RTM is divine.
