OK, the problem is now resolved: I just found out that we need to install from
prompt instead of IDLE.
Setuptools is installed, but I am not able to use easy_install from prompt. It
says:
easy_install : The term 'easy_install' is not recognized as the name of a
cmdlet, function, script file, or operable
program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that
the path is correct and try again.
