Follow the below steps to install the Setuptools on Windows using the setup.py file: Step 1: Download the latest source package of Setuptools for Python3 from here. Step 2: Extract the downloaded package using the given command. Step 3: Go to the setuptools-60.2.
First, download the latest version of Python 2.7 from the official website. If you want to be sure you are installing a fully up-to-date version, click the Downloads > Windows link from the home page of the Python.org web site . The Windows version is provided as an MSI package.
EasyInstall installs itself under two names: easy_install and easy_install-N.N , where N.N is the Python version used to install it. Thus, if you install EasyInstall for both Python 3.2 and 2.7, you can use the easy_install-3.2 or easy_install-2.7 scripts to install packages for the respective Python version.
I usually just run ez_setup.py. IIRC, that works fine, at least with UAC off.
It also creates an easy_install executable in your Python\scripts subdirectory, which should be in your PATH.
UPDATE: I highly recommend not to bother with easy_install anymore! Jump right to pip, it's better in every regard!
Installation is just as simple: from the installation instructions page, you can download get-pip.py and run it. Works just like the ez_setup.py mentioned above.

for 32-bit Python, the installer is here. after you run the installer, you will have easy_install.exe in your \Python27\Scripts directory
if you are looking for 64-bit installers, this is an excellent resource:
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
the author has installers for both Setuptools and Distribute. Either one will give you easy_install.exe
