I recently installed Python 2.6.2 on MS Windows and would like to get Easy Install/setuptools working. The associated download page (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools) provides MS Windows .EXE installers for Python versions 2.3 - 2.5 only. Are there any prospects for a 2.6 installer? Or is there another reasonably straightforward way to get Easy Install/setuptools built and installed?
The easiest way is download the Python Package Manager at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pythonpkgmgr/ It extends easy_install and will automatically install the correct version of setuptools/easyinstall when you go to install a package. It also provides pypi search capability and a deinstall function which can come in handy. Regards David
