But, my problem is that I am not able to figure out how to install this on my
Laptop.
I am using python 2.6 on Windows 7 64bit and I have already installed all the
required packages like numpy, scipy, matplotlib, ipython 64bit versions.
Are there any other prerequisites required to use this package on my laptop
other than the ones mentioned above because when I type "setup.py install" on
my command prompt it creates egg files in my Python26-->site-packages folder
but when I try to execute the example codes provided it gives me errors such
as no slycot found.
I tried the setup for slycot/Slicot(confused) but its giving me errors.
Doubts regarding slycot
Is slycot a must for using python-control package ?
I have Microsoft visual studio on my laptop but do I need Lapack/BLAS
installed for slycot
How do I install Lapack/BLAS easily on Windows 7 64bit
Which FORTRAN compiler should I download ?
Links to screen shots for errors
Can someone please send me the detailed procedure and prerequisites for
downloading and installing
-python-control
-slycot
-Slicot
because nothing is clear in the download documentation provided on source
forge
and I am not able to install python-control in the conventional way on my
Windows 7 64bit laptop.
Please include all the steps as it will be useful to other users as well..!!
Thanx...
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I looked through your screen shots. It looks like you have everything
installed correctly except slycot. Some functions will work in python-control
without slycot, so you can get a few things to work. Unfortunately, most of
the examples call functions that rely on the existence of slycot (this is what
generates the error when you call secord-matlab.py).
In terms of slycot, from your second screen shot it appears that you do not
have a fortran compiler on your system. Since the slycot package requires
fortran, you will need to install this. Unfortunately, I can't provide a lot
of guidance on compiling fortran code on a Windows box since I don't use
Windows.
I hope this information helps. It would be great if you can post the solution
here and we can eventually migrate that information the the python-control
wiki.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
With the help of Ryan Krauss, the latest version of trunk has some fixes that
should allow better operation of python-control when slycot is not available.
In particular, SISO conversions from state space to transfer functions should
work without slycot, which allows a variety of time response function and
frequency plots to work.

I wanted to use the python-control package for implementing an idea related to
Inferential control on Python.
I downloaded the control-0.5a.tar.gz from this link:

control/files/
