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

The recommended way to install setuptools on Windows is to download ez_setup.py and run it. The script will download the appropriate .egg file and install it for you.

For best results, uninstall previous versions FIRST (see Uninstalling).

Once installation is complete, you will find an easy_install.exe program in your Python Scripts subdirectory. For simple invocation and best results, add this directory to your PATH environment variable, if it is not already present.
