I am trying to run ez_setup.py on a fresh installation of Python 2.7.6 
in a Win XP environment, but I keep getting an error. Here's the traceback:

C:\Python27\Lib>python ez_setup.py

ImportError: cannot import name get_importer
Something went wrong during the installation.
See the error message above.

It's been awhile since I last installed ez_install, and I remember it 
being a pain, but I don't remember this issue. What am I doing wrong?

On a possibly related note, is there a specific place that ez_setup.py 
is expected to be in when this is run?
