I generally actually use 7zip for almost all archive file operations, since 
it's got a much wider range of file formats it supports, and it's free:

  Hi Jacob,

  So you're saying that I should get the source then? Do you know if WinZip can 
handle tar files?

   

  Thanks.

  All I can really say, since haven't used that library/repository as such - if 
that's what it is, is that generally, to install a module for later use, 
something along the lines of the following command will install it under python 
itself - run from the extracted directory, where there is then a setup.py file:

  python setup.py install

   

  HTH

    Hi,

    I have Python 2.7.3. I seem to be reading conflicting information about how 
to go to Pypi and find and install packages. I'm using Windows. Can anyone 
point to straight forward information about this?

     

    Thanks.

     

    Jim
