There's "python ./setup.py". There are "eggs", which are supposed
to
install very simply, but in practice usually fail to install properly,
producing obscure error messages. There are Windows installers.
There's no consistency.
I've found the eggs thing to work more often than not. But I've seen
it fail before too. I'm not sure where tuxagb got the idea that
there's usually a Windows installer. If I want something, it's usually
more like a 50-50 chance of there being an installer.
If the package includes some C extensions, typical Windows users won't be
able to compile them, so a binary distribution is a must.
Usually, it's enough to execute:
python setup.py bdist_wininst
and let distutils do its work.
