Newbie: Installing packages on windows

[bg_ie]

Hi,

I'm reading the python tutorials on docs.python.org, but I'm still not
sure how install a package. I have downloaded pylint in zip form from
www.logilab.org, but I'm unsure what to do with it. The file I wish to
test (i.e. the file I have writen myself) is located in C:\Python25\

Hope you can help,

Barry.

step 1: look for a README file in the ZIP archive, and follow the
instructions in that file.

Depends on what is in the archive... If it requires compiling C
stuff, you'll need a compatible environment.

Some packages just need to be decompressed and dropped into the
Pythonxx\Lib\site-packages directory. Others need to be decompressed,
and a setup program run (from command line -- unfortunately these tend
to be for generic installs and don't have a Windows shortcut file with
the needed options)

test (i.e. the file I have writen myself) is located in C:\Python25\

That's probably not the best directory to be putting development
code, since its the root of the language installation itself.
