I have a Windows 7 64bit machine and want to install the python package mgrs. I have tried using both easy_install and running python setup.py install in the mgrs directory. Easy_install gives me the error below.

ImportError: cannot import name Library
line 8 of setup.py is from setuptools import Library as Extension
Any help on what is causing the problem?
In old versions of setuptools, the Library class was imported into the setuptools package. This hasn't been the case since version 1.1.
That setup.py script is written against an older version of setuptools than you have installed.
You should be able to fix it by editing setup.py and changing the import to:
from setuptools.extension import Library
Post installation
For this particular package in Windows it seems to install the built DLL to the site-packages directory. Once installed, edit mgrs\core.py and replace the line:
local_dlls = os.path.abspath(os.__file__ + "../../../DLLs")
With:
import site
local_dlls = ";".join(site.getsitepackages())
