If you installed the Windows version of that package, there should be an executable utility called easy_install.exe, located in your scripts subdirectory of your Python installation. Make sure that directory is on your Windows search path (as well as the Python directory and lib subdirectory).


You can then install most Python packages with a command in a console window like

easy_install PackageName

If you have already downloaded a package in a .eggor other archive format, you can also use the syntax

easy_install FileName

For example,

easy_install feedparser

or

easy_install c:\temp\feedparser.egg

Hi,

I feel really stupid for asking this. I tried to install setuptools,
because when I was looking at the documentation for another module, it
said that if I install setuptools, the process to install other modules
is much easier. How do I tell if the setup process for setuptools
worked, and related to that, how do I ask Python which modules I already
have?

Thanks.

Jim
