This is the older PyXPCOM extension download for Firefox versions 1.5 - 2.0 and also Thunderbird versions 1.5 - 2.0.
XULRunner Notes
For XULRunner, the extension can either be included as part of the applications extensions folder, using the directory id "pythonext@mozdev.org", where it will also then show up in the extension manager. The second alternative is to extract the pyxpcomext xpi on top of a XULRunner package/installation, where Python then becomes a core part of the XULRunner build.
Trouble shooting
The Windows build of PythonExt requires both the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 C++ runtime libraries to be installed, otherwise you will receive errors when trying to use a Python XPCOM component, such as:
TypeError: Components.classes['@twhiteman.netfirms.com/pyShell;1'] is undefinedThis runtime can be freely downloaded from the Microsoft website.
