How to install easy_install in Python 2.7.1 on Windows 7

Question

I have installed Python 2.7.1 on Windows 7, but I am unable to install easy_install. Please help me.

Answer 1

That tool is part of the setuptools (now called Distribute) package. Install Distribute. Of course you'll have to fetch that one manually.
