Re: [Distutils] easy_install issues

      Hi PJ,

Great-- thanks! That was a problem and the fact that when I tried to run it
afterwards, I had to go to the Python\Scripts directory, easy_install
loaded into that.

Thanks for the help!

Hi--
I was having some difficulties installing easy_install.  I was following
a
tutorial that had me on the command prompt typing
C:/easy_tutorial\ez_setup.py
but in the tutorial this did something else then what my computer did.
 For
me, a notepad file with a python script opened when I did this, instead
of
actually running anything.
Apparently, your computer's python installation is configured to open
.py files in notepad, instead of in Python.  Try typing:
python ez_setup.py
Instead of just ez_setup.py.
