The setuptools package allows you to download, build, upgrade, install and uninstall Python packages, very easily.Installation Instructions:1. Download the appropriate egg for your version of Python (e.g. setuptools-0.6c8-py2.4.egg). Do NOT rename it.2. Run it as if it were a shell script, e.g. sh setuptools-0.6c8-py2.4.egg. Setuptools will install itself using the matching version of Python (e.g. python2.4), and will place the easy_install executable in the default location for installing Python scripts (as determined by the standard distutils configuration files, or by the Python installation).If you want to install setuptools to somewhere other than site-packages or your default distutils installation locations for libraries and scripts, you may include EasyInstall command-line options such as --prefix, --install-dir, and so on, following the .egg filename on the same command line.
