Can't install SQLAlchemy

Question

I've been trying to install SQLAlchemy for a project. I've tried 3 different computers running Windows 7, Vista, and 7 with identical python32 installations. My first issue was an inability to execute easy_install on any of these computers for different reasons. Next, running the included setup.py script didn't work, even after running distribute_setup.py and running the script from the command prompt as "python setup.py install". Finally, trying to manually run the sa2to3.py script manually on the sqlalchemy folder did not work; it spat out an error message about not being able to find the folder, even when given an absolute path.

Answer 1

First of all, don't use easy_install. pip is much more reliable.

Try installing it and see how things go: How do I install pip on Windows?

Then, just install your package (search for cmd in the Search Bar on the Start Menu and run it as an Administrator):

pip install sqlalchemy
