Install IPython 0.12 on Windows 7 64

I read the installation notes here . The installation notes say that for Windows 7 64 I should probably follow this method:

Install from source, but using setuptools (python setupegg.py installation).

So, I first installed Python 2.7.2 using the official binaries: python-2.7.2.amd64.msi and later downloaded ipython-0.12-py2.7.egg , which, as I understand it, has a source for IPython.

However, after unpacking ipython-0.12-py2.7.egg I could not find a file named setupegg.py . Is this file part of the .egg file that I downloaded, or should I get it from another place?

Also, is there anything else I need to install to use the new IPython laptop?

I suggest first try methods 1 ( easy_install ipython ) or 2 (exe installer). Please note that in any case, you must first install distribute . (If you really want to use method 3, you need to get the original zip code, not the egg.)

To run a laptop, you also need pyzmq and a tornado. Both are on PyPI, or Christoph Gohlke has Windows installers from these and many other packages.

As a shortcut to all of this, you can use a Python distribution, such as EPD Free .
