Basic Tutorial to setup your windows 7 Machine for Python Development
I would like to highlight that this tutorial is inspired by the following blog.
Moreover, anyone who follows the above blog will achieve the target. This is just for the purpose if I forget the address of the above blog, this will help me through in future. :)
I would like to highlight the points in the above tutorial where I faced issues and I believe many of us will while setting up for the first time.
In the section "Set up useful Python packages" when the author wants us to install setup tools, he simply wants us to download the file and save it as ez_setup.py anywhere on our system and then open command prompt and execute the following command
python ez_setup.py
This must get executed successfully and after that follow the next steps in the above blog.
Install pip though easy_install, if you have not set up the location C:\Python27\Scripts in the path variable then do that before installing pip, else the easy_install command will not work.
Hope this helps...
Thanks to the blogger Anthony for helping me by writing this wonderful article.
