I first downloaded Python 3.3 with the purpose of then adding xlrd and xlwt to use with excel. I have been unable to install easy_install
, distribute
, or either of the above.
This is an error message I get after downloading distribute, extracting it and running distribute_setup.py
from IDLE:
Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.49.tar.gz
Extracting in c:\users\t\appdata\local\temp\tmpecnfj9
Now working in c:\users\t\appdata\local\temp\tmpecnfj9\distribute-0.6.49
Installing Distribute
Something went wrong during the installation.
See the error message above.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python33\Lib\site-packages\distribute-0.6.49\distribute_setup.py", line 556, in <module>
sys.exit(main())
SystemExit: 2
Overall, I am unable to install and use any modules. I assume I am missing a very basic step.
