What is the correct process of installing any external python module?
Once we downloaded any python module,
Q1) Where this module should be placed in python installation file
structure?
If it is a single Python module, you can put it anywhere in the Python
path. A good place may be the site-packages subdirectory. Execute this
line to see the list of directories that are currently searched for
modules:
python -c "import sys; print '\n'.join(sys.path)"
More complex packages (containing many modules and its own internal
hierarchy) usually provide a setup.py script
Q2) How to execute setup.py file?
Like any other script. For many Python packages, you only have to execute
this:
cd path/to/the/downloaded/and/uncompressed/package
python setup.py install
Please read the package documentation for any specific instructions. There
is a generic guide aimed at site administrators: "Installing Python
Modules" <http://docs.python.org/inst/>
