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.
