Instructions install windows

Installing and Using on Windows

Installation

• install Python 2.7.2 (not 64 bit, the first windows installer) http://python.org/download/
• install pygame-1.9.2a0.win32-py2.7.msi http://pygame.org/download.shtml

Usage

Although you can get python working with the windows command line, the windows command line is pretty horrible (has a hard time pasting.) Instead, we will just be using IDLE.

Quick How To

• Edit a file - right click on the python file and select "Edit with IDLE"
• Run a file - open in IDLE, then select Run -> Run (or press F5)
• Open a Shell - open IDLE and select Run -> Run Shell

PIP

• Sacrifice a goat.
• curl http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py | python
• curl https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py | python
• Edit your ~/.bashrc and add the line export PATH="/c/Python27/Scripts/:$PATH"
• Install what you need using pip install <PACKAGE> eg: pip install BeautifulSoup
