I recently discovered the Python utility called easy_install. It is so useful that I'm surprised that is not included with Python 2.5. You can download it from the web page http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/ Current, the direct download address of the Windows version is http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.5/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c9.win32-py2.5.exe#md5=602d06054ec1165e995ae54ac30884d7 This installer puts easy_install in the folder C:\Python25\scripts so make sure that is on your Windows search path. Then you can enter something like the following at a command prompt: easy_install PyGoogle to install the PyGoogle package.
