how to add tools to python

Question

I installed python in Win7. I need to add python-msp430-tools 0.6 to my python. Hence I downloaded python-msp430-tools 0.6 from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-msp430-tools . But there is a problem? How can I add this tool to my python.

(By the way, I downloaded msp-gcc for mingw and fixed PATH.)

I will appreciate any help.

Best Regards.

Have you considered finding some resources regarding on how to install packages on https://pypi.python.org/pypi ? — woozyking, Jul 23 '13 at 13:33

You need to use 'easy_install' script from your $PYTHON_PATH/bin folder. Like:

easy_install python-msp430-tools

It will download package from pypi and install it. You dont have to download it by hand. You also can use pip in the same way after installing it. So once:

easy_install pip

Then:

pip install python-msp430-tools

Pip is much better in package management.
