How to install setuptools...egg?

[Rolf]

Hi,

I would like to install setuptools for Python2.6 on Windows.
Unfortunately I could only find setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg but no *.exe
for Python2.6. And as far as I understand I need setuptools to install a
Python egg. I would be very appreciative for any help.

Regards

Rolf

You might try, at the command line:
   easy_install setuptools

Wait maybe you should try this command

I would like to install setuptools for Python2.6 on Windows.

1. Download setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg
2. Download setuptools-0.6c9.tar.gz
3. Use 7-zip from http://www.7-zip.org/ to extract ez_setup.py from
setuptools-0.6c9.tar.gz
4. In a directory that contains setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg and
ez_setup.py run the command python ez_setup.py
5. Add C:\Python26\Scripts to your path to run easy_install
