http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#downloading-and-installing-a-package seems to imply that after installation I can goto a command prompt and type easy_install c:\MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.4-win32.egg I tried doing this in the python interpreter and on a straight "cmd" command prompt (the site doesn't really specify). I also tried "import easy_install" and then easy_install c:\MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.4-win32.egg easy_install ("c:\MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.4-win32.egg") and a couple other permutations and never got it to run (error messages for the first group were "invalid syntax" and were various flavors of "module not callable" for the second group). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
