How to install python-dateutil on Windows

Question

I m trying to convert some date times to UTC  which I thought would be dead simple in Python - batteries included  right  Well  it would be simple except that Python  2 6  doesn t include any tzinfo classes  No problem  a quick search turns up python-dateutil which should do exactly what I need   The problem is that I need to install it on Windows  I was able to upack the  tar gz2 distribution using 7-zip  but now I m left with a collection of files and no guidance on how to proceed  When I try to run setup py I get the error  No module named setuptools

I followed several suggestions in this list without success   Finally got it installed on Windows using this method  I extracted the zip file and placed the folders under my python27 folder   In a DOS window  I navigated to the installed root folder from extracting the zip file  python-dateutil-2 6 0   then issued this command     python setup py install   Whammo-bammo it all worked

It is a little tricky for people who is not used to command prompt  All you have to do is open the directory where python is installed  C  Python27 by default  and open the command prompt there  shift   right click and select open command window here  and then type    python -m pip install python-dateutil  Hope that helps
