How to install easy_install in Python 2.7.1 on Windows 7

Question

I installed Python 2.7.1 on Windows 7, but I cannot install easy_install. Please help me.

Answer 1

I usually run ez_setup.py . IIRC, which works great, at least with UAC.

It also creates the easy_install executable in your Python \ scripts subdirectory, which should be in your PATH.

UPDATE: I highly recommend not worrying about easy_install anymore! Jump to the right, better in every way!
Installation is just as simple: on the installation instructions page , you can download get-pip.py and run it. Works the same as ez_setup.py mentioned above.

Answer 2

for 32-bit python installer here . after starting the installer you will have easy_install.exe in the \Python27\Scripts

If you are looking for 64-bit installers, this is a great resource:

http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

the author has installers for both Setuptools and Distribute. Any of these will give you easy_install.exe

Answer 3

Find the official installer 2.7 setuptools (which contains easy_install). You only need to install from sources for 64-bit windows windows.

Answer 4

This tool is part of the setuptools package (now called Distribute). Install "Distribute." Of course, you have to manually take this.

Answer 5

I recently used ez_setup.py and I did a tutorial on how to install it. The tutorial has snapshots and is easy to use. You can find it below:

Install easy_install with ez_setup.py

I hope you find this helpful.

Answer 6

The recommended way to install setuptools on Windows is to download ez_setup.py and run it. The script will download the corresponding .egg file and install it for you.

For best results, uninstall previous versions of FIRST (see Uninstall).

Once the installation is complete, you will find the easy_install.exe program in the Python Scripts subdirectory. For a simple invocation and best results, add this directory to your PATH environment variable if it is not already present.

Answer 7

I know this is not a direct answer to your question, but it offers one solution to your problem. Python 2.7.9 includes PIP and SetupTools, if you upgrade this version, you will have one solution to your problem.
