Do I need special system settings to run PythonD?
Yes. You need long-filename support, DPMI and/or cwsdpmi.exe from Delorie and setting the needed system variables. See the main PythonD page. For the help() function you need a pager like DJGPP”s ‘less” available in the ‘textutils” package. For building additional packages, calling external commands, or really doing anything beyond ‘pure python”, it is strongly recommended to have a *complete* DJGPP installation. Distutils will not work without DJGPP and DXE3 installed on your system. The distribution package should be uncompressed (with internal directory structure intact) directly into your DJGPP installation, if you have one. If not, you need to set %PYTHONHOME% to the dirctory in which the distribution was unzipped.
