Sadly, very few people bother to look at readmes when they encounter problems :S
I am guilty of this myself...

I need some help - is there any way to check the version of Python on my system? I'm in a bit of a pickle.

I have an older version of Python, 2.6.5 (I think,) on my system, because I'm running a tabletop game of the Star Wars RPG via Traipse - which needs 2.6.5 (which is what I installed - again, I think.)

The Mod Manager 1.7 says it should run on 2.6, but when I launch Modman.exe, it says I don't have any supported version of Python on my system. Does it not run on 2.6.5, or is something squirrely going on?

The modman.exe is currently broken and doesn't detect Python on any system, ever.
In order to run GMM, you have to double click on main.py instead.

Yay!
News from the Python dev mailing list...

since there turned out to be a "critical mass" of regressions in 2.7.4/3.2.4/3.3.1, Benjamin and I would like to release a release fixing these next weekend. [written 2013-04-30]

Please help! I am getting the "String augment of length 8" error and nothing has helped. I tried deleting the files in the backup, but whenever I patch something they come back for some reason.

When there's corruption, you need to delete the backups AND reinstall the game (or do the steam re-verify thing) at the same time.

Python 2.7.5 is available!

Anyone who got Python in the past month or two (2.7.4) should upgrade to fix bugs that particular version introduced.

Well since modman.exe doesnt work how do I run main.py as an administrator to give it the permissions to apply the mod?
