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 onhttps://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 athttps://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools, but the
instructions on the page state the .exe won't work for 64-bit installs.

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.
Do this, something goes wrong, no output to see.
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 this, something goes wrong, output in front of you.
Do that and report back on what happened
