No I scrolled down to the Windows directions and used setuptools,'python setupegg.py install' It works but it is installed in 'C:Python27\Lib\site-packages\ipython-0.12.tar\dist\ipython-0.12' which is weird. I used 7zip to unzip and untar it maybe that is the issue. I'm using winXP. I should be getting my system upgraded to Win7 any day now, so I'm going to leave it where it is for now.
