Could you try using the instructions at

goes?

Replace all the "sudo easy_install" instructions on that page with
just "easy_install" (ie. minus the sudo). Install that tool with the
instructions at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools

Richard,

Thanks for your response.

I have done the steps you have advised. I have checked the setuptools is in python\Lib\site-packages. I have also checked the path variable and it is: G:\Python26.

But I receive the following error:
?
>>>easy_install --upgrade gensim
??? SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>
?
I have kept the internet on before issuing the above command, 
?
I have also tried:
?
>>>easy_install?gensim
??? SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Once again, thank you very much for the time you have given.

easy_install is a command-line program should be invoked outside of
Python - ie. at the DOS prompt. On your system it will be installed in
G:\Python26\Scripts so you'll either need to include that directory in
your PATH or invoke it directly as G:\Python26\Scripts\easy_install

There's some notes about this at:

   http://packages.python.org/distribute/easy_install.html#windows-notes

Yes, this could be easier :-(

Hi Deb.

The setup script is looking for a batch file that is supplied by a C/C++
compiler (normally Visual C++ or mingw).

This is a common problem when installing some libraries on Windows
platforms.

See this page for more info:

Alternatively, you could try using the MinGW32 compiler, as suggested in the

Hi all,

Sorry for the late post this week. The next meeting is next Monday,
the 4th of April at RMIT.

The room has changed! After the double-booking last week we've been
moved to 12.07.02 (building 12, level 7, room 2).

Tennessee's going to talk to us about an approach to benchmarking that
he's been working on.

If you have some experience with benchmarking or profiling Python
code, perhaps you have something you can share?

I'm going to talk about PyWeek number 12, which starts this coming
Sunday morning :-)

Full meeting info at http://j.mp/mpug

I cant make it to meetings (Im Canberra based) but the benchmarking/profiling stuff looks really interesting.

Hopefully you can put a summary of the talk or some details up on a page somewhere afterwards?
