I am trying to install pynotify for python 2.7 using Pip. I am doing this in Windows Powershell. I can looked around for a solution but have been unsuccessful. I am using windows 7.

My code:

Pip install pynotify

Error:

No local packages or download links found for binary-installer-built-with-distutils.exe
error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('binary-installer-built-with-distutils.exe')

I tried to install binary_installer_built_with_distutils.exe with easy_install:

easy_install  binary_installer_built_with_distutils.exe

I get the following error message:

Couldn't find index page for 'binary_installer_built_with_distutils.exe' (maybe misspelled?)

  • Try installing distutils? Also, python development is a huge pain in Windows. I would suggest saving yourself the trouble early and just running *nix for development. – Slater Victoroff Jan 05 '15 at 18:30
  • Did you have a look at this question already? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3271590/can-i-install-python-windows-packages-into-virtualenvs – cel Jan 05 '15 at 18:35
  • @cel, yes I did. I don't follow it all as I am new to programming and Python. I tried `easy_install inary_installer_built_with_distutils.exe` as someone suggested in there. Updated OP with error that yielded. – user2242044 Jan 05 '15 at 18:42
  • @SlaterTyranus I tried installing it and added that to the original post. I'll look into nix but it doesn't seem like a super quick change to make. – user2242044 Jan 05 '15 at 18:43
  • @user2242044 That's not how you do that: https://docs.python.org/2/distutils/introduction.html – Slater Victoroff Jan 05 '15 at 20:53
