Hi there -
The distutils readme says this:
Obviously, in order to use the Distutils you must first install them.
Luckily, since the goal of the whole project is to make distributing and
installing Python module distributions painless, this is quite easy:
python setup.py install
For some of us I guess things just can't be too simple. I untarred the tar
file so that there is distutils dir under the python dir. From a command
prompt, when in the main distutils dir that contains setup.py, I type
"python setup.py install" and get the following:
E:\Python\Distutils-0.1.3>python setup.py install
'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.
I added python.exe to my path and it didn't help. Thanks for any help!
