I downloaded dateutil which comes with a setup.py file but it throws an error when I try to open it. What's the proper way to install this module?
This is the error:
error: no commands supplied

Installing Python Packages with Setup.py To install a package that includes a setup.py file, open a command or terminal window and: cd into the root directory where setup.py is located. Enter: python setup.py install.
pip is a package manager, which can install, upgrade, list and uninstall packages, like familiar package managers including: dpkg, apt, yum, urpmi, ports etc. Under the hood, it will run python setup.py install , but with specific options to control how and where things end up installed. In summary: use pip .
setup.py is designed to be run from the command line. You'll need to open your command prompt (In Windows 7, hold down shift while right-clicking in the directory with the setup.py file. You should be able to select "Open Command Window Here").
From the command line, you can type
python setup.py --help ...to get a list of commands. What you are looking to do is...
python setup.py install If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
