Because Vista is Windows, you have to add a bunch of stuff to the system path via my my computer->properties->advanced etc..... or according to this you can edit the registry or run some other command....ick http://vistaonwindows.com/environment_variables.html
I usually create a PYTHON_HOME environment variable out of habit, then base all additions to PATH off of that also, some packages will bomb on easy_install if they try to build c extensions because you likely won't have a c++ compiler. you can install Mingw and add that to the path as well. and add an entry to distutils.cfg http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#controlling-build-options Similarly, I usually create a MINGW_HOME environment variable out of habit, then base all additions to PATH off of that. [build] compiler = mingw32 In general, for it all to work you need to be able to open up a dos prompt and be able to type python,easy_install, and g++, and have those programs be run successfully. if it returns with "command not found" or whatever the verbage is, you need to adjust your path until they run. other things you may need: subversion, perhaps mercurial also added to the path. Don't forget to tell windows it's ok for them to access teh webz. This isn't specific to pylons or even python by the way, similar things need to be done for any sort of OSS not already blessed by microsoft. ANT_HOME comes to mind.... Hope that helps.
