title: How do I install Python packages on Windows?
body: <p>I'm having a hard time setting up python packages. EasyInstall from <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools" rel="noreferrer">SetupTools</a> is supposed to help that, but they don't have an executable for Python 2.6.</p>
  
  <p>For instance to install Mechanize, I'm just supposed to put the Mechanize folder in C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages according to INSTALL.txt, but runnning the tests does not work. Can someone help shed some light on this? Thanks!</p>
