Hello,







I have python up and running using the exact setup as recommended by 
http://learnpythonthehardway.org/







I am now trying to use pdfminer.







I have python here:



C:\USERS\Python27







using "import os", i am able to cwd to C:\users\python where i have 
C:\users\python\pdfminer-master\.







when i navigate to the child directory and run "setup.py install" i get the 
following issue:







setup.py install



    File "<stdin>", line 1



      setup.py install



                     ^







i have no idea why, any input?







thanks!







Do you really have the ">>>" prompt? If yes, then you're asking Python



to run a console (OS) command.







You should be running "setup.py install" in a console ("Command



Prompt") window, something like:







cd C:\users\python\pdfminer-master



C:\USERS\Python27\python.exe \setup.py install



ok makes sense.



i am running now from command line and get the following:



P:\>C:\USERS\Python27\python.exe C:\users\Python27\pdfminer-master\setup.py inst

all

running install

running build

running build_py

error: package directory 'pdfminer' does not exist

also this is my dir:
