With very few exceptions, if a module is available from PyPi, the proper way to install it is via one of those tools and NOT a manual download. The fact that you mention installing Swampy from a download tells me you're not using those tools - am I mistaken? For Windows users, there's pip-win ( https://sites.google.com/site/pydatalog/python/pip-for-windows). It's not only incredibly simple to use, but it's specifically designed for machines with multiple Python versions; so (gulp!) I actually recommend the Windows tool over the command-line in this case. > > --- > This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
