Here I have some confusion regarding the Python package installations


Hi I just installed Python 2.7 as I have some requirements to code. Now I am also interested to install some python packages too as per my requirement.

I have downloaded some tar.zip packages like beautifulsoup4,xlrd 0.8.0,xlwt 0.7.4 and beautifulsoup4 4.1.3 from the respective sites. Now I unzipeed them to C:\Python27\ and now if I run from this folder python setup.py install will it work for me? means all the required files will be downloaded to its respective folders.

Please guide me to understand!


Solution

  • The required files are already in the folders and that command installs it. You have to enter in the each unzipped folders and run python setup.py install. If all works right now you have these modules installed where the python can find them.
