The setup.py needs setuptools as per jcoon's answer. For 3.x you need to install Distribute, which is a fork of setuptools. The line "from setuptools import setup" extensively patches distutils. It then honors the option 'install_requires = ["six"]' to fetch and install the dependency (this dependency is new to version 2.1) when you run "setup.py install". Alternatively, once you have Distribute installed, you can add the Scripts directory to the Windows PATH and just "easy_install python-dateutil" in an elevated console. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
