#46241 — How to: Setuptools

I would like to use easy_install, but can't figure out how to install it.

I have 64-bit Python 2.7.5 on Windows 7.  

Following the instructions on https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools, it says:
Download ez_setup.py and run it; it will download the appropriate .egg file and install it for you. (Currently, the provided .exe installer does not support 64-bit versions of Python for Windows, due to a distutils installer compatibility issue

Being new to Python, I don't know what it means to "run it".  I am not sure what I am looking at when I open it as the first line is "#!python".

Looking down into the content of ez_setup.py, I find:
'setuptools-0.6c10-py2.6.egg':
but there is no entry
'setuptools-0.6c10-py2.7.egg':

Searching for it, I found a version at:
https://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/s/setuptools/

This appeared to be a linux version, the first line is:
#!/bin/sh
and the content seems to be encoded.

There is an exe at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools, but the 
instructions on the page state the .exe won't work for 64-bit installs.

Curl comes built into windows??
Does not seem so...

Also given that the question clearly says 'I dont know what it means

I think your two lines could be too cryptic :-)

To the OP: Sorry I am not being very helpful to you -- I am not on
windows now and dont know these commands offhand

I am sure someone else will chime in..

No, but you can get it from http://curl.haxx.se/download.html

Perhaps, my grandma used to think English is very cryptic. ;)

Oooff! Talk of using sledgehammers to crack nuts...

All that is needed is to visit http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
with the browser and to save the file!!

Can you show me how to do that from a batch file? Please...

What in the OP's question translates into a need for a batch-file?

And you are proposing that he downloads curl just to write that batch-
file?!?!

How come that proposal is not subject to the same requirement, viz. I
dont see in your recipe any:
"Here-is-a-batchfile-to-download-curl-without-curl?"

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

Do this, something goes wrong, no output to see.

The installation fails.  The report stated it could not find the file.
Per:
Looking down into the content of ez_setup.py, I find:
'setuptools-0.6c10-py2.6.egg':
but there is no entry
'setuptools-0.6c10-py2.7.egg':

Since I am trying to install this for Python 2.7, it fails.

Any suggestions?

Mysterious...

If you are in hack mode you could try patching that file with the 2.7
egg name and md5
Both of them here https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools

ie after this line
'setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg': 'bfa92100bd772d5a213eedd356d64086',

add this line
'setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg': 'fe1f997bc722265116870bc7919059ea',

However it maybe a better idea to ask on the distutils mailing list
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/

[And let us know how/what happened!]

Try reading this 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3652625/installing-setuptools-on-64-bit-windows 
which refers to this http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ where 
you can get pip which is an easy_install replacement.  You pays your 
money, you takes your choice :)

Hmm...
Something new (for me)
Last I knew, pip was the supposed replacement for setuptools and you
had to install setuptools to install pip!!!
Maybe this has changed?? Or its different on windows??

I looked through distutils-sig/ .  There were many finding the problem.  There is a solution using Setuptools 2.7 bdist_wininst - http://groups.google.com/group/distutils-sig/browse_thread/thread/6107d5c9044c3f37/4d1a53f9e8fb7d20?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=Setuptools+2.7+bdist_wininst> 

It wasn't clear on where to run things from nor did it address the missing 2.7 reference.

The reference - http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ 
has a 64 bit installer -  distribute-0.6.43.win-amd64-py2.7.exe.  It ran without error reports.

This all was to install netwokx.  That installed without error.
