If you are running web2py binary (web2py.exe) you cannot use easy_insall. to use easy_install you need to 1) download and install python 2.5 or 2.6 2) download and distutil for python 2.5 or 2.6 (this gives you easy_install) 3) download are run web2py source (web2py.py) 4) download any other package you want with easy_install
