Installing PyExcelerator to write Excel files from Python

T

tkpmep

I downloaded PyExcelerator.zip as I need to write some data into Excel
files, and tried unsuccessfully to install it. I unzipped the files
into C:/Python24/Lib/site-packages/PyExcelerator, and in a python
command line window typed

followed by

exactly as stated in README.txt. However all I get is a SyntaxError.

I then tried various combinations - with and without enclosing quotes,
with and without ./, and in all cases I get a SyntaxError. Has anyone
installed this program successfully? If so, what's the magic ingredient
for a successful install?

Thanks in advance

use a windows *command interpreter* window, instead of typing windows
commands into a Python interpreter.

(if you cannot find it in your start menu, select "run..." and run the "cmd"
command).

You should unzip to somewhere else, the install step will put the
correct files into site-packages.
