Well, I suggested to the original poster using the only way of installing
Python things for Windows which worked for me.
After trying all the ez_installs and pips (which require some C compilers
installed and PATH variable set properly and ...) and whatever suggested on
many sites, which never worked for me, I felt a big relief when I found that
page full of prepared proper Windows installers.
You are right, one must be bewared when downloading anything, but from my
(and your) experience it seems to be safe.
