You can try easy_install or pip. -=- Olivier 2012/1/21 Peng Yu <pengyu.ut@gmail.com>

Hi,

Perl has something like ppm so that I can just use one command to download and install perl modules. But I don't find such thing in python. As shown on http://docs.python.org/install/index.html, it seems that I have to download the packages first unzip it then install it. I'm wondering if there is a better way to install python packages that require less human intervention. Thanks!
