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.
