How to install Python Package on windows

In Python follow the steps to install other packages on windows:

For example: 

>>> import requests

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>

    import requests

ImportError: No module named requests

To resolve this error:

1.     Go to this website https://pypi.python.org/pypi , Search  for the required package, here requests and pick the tar.gz file which you think is the latest.

2.     Open the tar.gz (requests-2.4.3.tar.gz) using 7zip or winrar or any other archive manager.

3.     There is a folder called "dist' inside the above tar.gz.

4.     Inside 'dist' folder there will be a ".tar" file named "requests-2.4.3.tar". Please note that this is the latest version when I downloaded the file.

5.     Double click the "requests-2.4.3.tar" file as mentioned above. You will find a folder with the same name “requests-2.4.3". Extract this folder to a specific location.

6.     Open Command Prompt. Change directory to the above location.

7.     Type in the command at prompt: >c:\Python27\python.exe setup.py install

8.     Note: I am using Python27, if you are using any other version, please change it your installed version.

9.     This will install the required packages. This can be verified under “C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages”. Here you will have your packages.

10.  Open your python shell.

11.  Type "import requests" on the screen and enter.
