Ryanr,
Thanks for notifying us you encountered this problem.
The error seems to indicate a problem with the Python installation itself.
As part of the "COM registration" step of the MGET installation, the MGET
installer has to import a bunch of Python packages (i.e. load them
temporarily into memory). One of these is the httplib2 package that is
included in MGET. Httplib2 is an open source package written by others; we
use it in MGET to interact with servers that host oceanographic data.
Httplib2 itself imports the email package, which is part of Python itself
and installed when ArcGIS installed Python. Internally, the email package
tried to import one of its own modules (email.mime) and failed, apparently
because that module does not exist.
If that is true--that the email.mime module does not exist on the
machine--it could cause problems later. MGET does not do anything with
email, but apparently the email package must be imported in order for
httplib2 to be imported. If httplib2 cannot be imported, then MGET's tools
that interact with data servers might not work. These tools appear under the
Data Products node of the MGET toolbox. Be alert for any problems with those
tools and feel free to contact me if you hit one.
The fact that this problem broke the "COM registration" step of the
installer is not important for your scenario, unless you plan to write code
in a language such as VBScript or JScript that calls MGET through COM
Automation. If you don't know what that is, then chances are very good that
you won't do it, so you can ignore is specific failure. It is only the
potential later failure of the Data Products tools that could be a concern.
Best,
Jason

Subject: [mget-help] mget installation error message atttached
hi,
at the end of mget 0.8a46 install on pc running arcgis 10.1, sp1, under
winXP, sp3, the attached message appeared. part of message states to
contact mget dev team, ergo this e-mail
opening arctoolbox, it appears mget tools are there. can't be sure, tho,
not having used mget tools, yet.
thnx,

needed to install pywin32-218.win32-py2.7 before mget 0.8a46 would install,
only to give attached error message.
