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. I've spent a good 2-3 hours looking at the easy_install documentation, downloading a free software to open .tar.gz files, opening various egg files and .py files, and haven't gotten anywhere really.
Is there a very basic step-by-step guide for how to install it that doesn't come up in a google search for this? Or a good description that can explain things in an easy way? I have python 2.7.3 and would really like to get this module installed.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

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.
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!
