title: How to get setuptools and easy_install?
body: <p>I downloaded the <code>ez_setup</code> code from here: <a href="http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py">http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py</a>
  and ran it, but i don't think <code>setuptools</code> was properly installed. When i try to open an egg using <code>easy_install</code> i am getting a NameError. Any thoughts?</p>
  
  <p>Here is the specific error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "C:...setup.py", line 223, in &lt;module&gt;
      easy_install eggsetup.py
  NameError: name 'easy_install' is not defined
  </code></pre>
