Since there seems to be no response to this, let me try (even though I am not on windows) Just point your browser at the link http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py And save the file ez_setup.py The more windows-y way of running this is to right-click this and edit the run-with in some way that I dont have at my finger-tips. The more old-fashioned way is to start a dos-box (run cmd.exe) navigate to the directory where the ez_setup.py is saved from there run the command: python ez_setup.py Do that and report back on what happened -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
