easy_install

easy_install is a script that installs Python modules.. easy way.

Why??

So that you can "Start" -> "Run" -> "easy_install cython" for example to install Cython.

Installation on Windows

1. Press "Start" -> "Run" ->

python -murllib http://tinyurl.com/lva9p | python - -U setuptools

This has to be written in one line!

tinyurl.com/lva9p is http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py, just shortened to fit the screen.

2. Add C:\Python25\Scripts\ (or similar if you installed Python somewhere else) to your PATH variable.

That's all.
