Use EasyInstall to Quickly Install Python Modules

EasyInstall is a python module (easy_install) that lets you automatically download, build, install, and manage Python packages. To use EasyInstall you must download and install “setuptools”; the EasyInstall application is bundled with “setuptools”. On Windows, once the installation is complete, you will find an executable named “easy_install.exe” in your Python “Scripts” subdirectory. Be sure to add this directory to your “PATH” environment variable.

You can then install a Python package easily – for example, to install the “html5lib” Python package, simply execute the following command: “easy_install html5lib” as shown below.
