i unzipped and put the folder in site-packages. when i run setup.py
install nothing happens.

when i do import pp from shell it complains it doesnt exist.

isnt placing the folder in site-packages enough?





these setup.py-files often dont work but normally it still works.

What is "pp"? Parallel Python?

Usually. Sometimes you have to add the package to the Path too though.

I rarely have any trouble with them on Windows, although the
troublesome ones do exist.

which one ? (remember that if you have more than one Python installation
on your machine, you'll have more than one site-packages too).

Well... usually, setup.py install takes care of putting the appropriate
things at the appropriate place for your system, so you don't have to
"put the folder in site-packages" by yourself.

Which shell ? The Python shell ? A bash shell ?

move "the folder" from site-packages to somewhere else, cd to "the
folder", then run python setup.py install (with appropriate permissions
of course). And if you have more than one python install on your system,
make sure the one you're using for running setup.py is the right one.


> these setup.py-files often dont work

Python-version confusion issues set aside, I've never had any problem
with a setup.py so far (for 'so far' == since I've started using Python
some height years ago). But I admit I never tried to copy "the folder"
into site-packages *then* run setup.py install from there...
