I would like to use easy_install, but can't figure out how to install it. I have 64-bit Python 2.7.5 on Windows 7.
Following the instructions on https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools, it says: Download ez_setup.py and run it; it will download the appropriate .egg file and install it for you. (Currently, the provided .exe installer does not support 64-bit versions of Python for Windows, due to a distutils installer compatibility issue Being new to Python, I don't know what it means to "run it". I am not sure what I am looking at when I open it as the first line is "#!python". Looking down into the content of ez_setup.py, I find: 'setuptools-0.6c10-py2.6.egg': but there is no entry 'setuptools-0.6c10-py2.7.egg': Searching for it, I found a version at: https://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/s/setuptools/ This appeared to be a linux version, the first line is: #!/bin/sh and the content seems to be encoded. There is an exe at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools, but the instructions on the page state the .exe won't work for 64-bit installs. Ray -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
