Hey, I am new to python and facing problem with installing packages. I am using VPython which requires Python 2.7.x from python.org; it will not work with versions of Python other than the one from python.org. So I need to install packages separately.I was trying to install scipy-0.14.0, it gives following error: Warning (from warnings module): File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 267 warnings.warn(msg) UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'test_suite' So I thought maybe I need to install setuptools first. I ran setup.py file in IDLE. it runs fine and then I can import it in current session. But when I run session, it still says 'no module named setuptools'. Same thing happened when I tried to install nose.
If you've got Python 2.7.9 just use pip as it's far easier. This https://docs.python.org/release/2.7.9/whatsnew/2.7.html#pep-477-backport-ensurepip-pep-453-to-python-2-7 refers.
If you still can't install a package as you've not got Visual Studio C++ try downloading a binary from here http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
