Installing setuptools for Python2.7 on Windows

Assuming you have python 2.7 installed in C:\Python27

1. Make sure your path includes C:\Python27\; and C:\Python27\Scripts\;
2. Download setuptools-0.6c11.tar.gz and setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg from here
3. Extract the tar using 7zip into a folder outside C:\Python27 and copy the setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg file into the extracted folder
4. Open command prompt, get into the extracted folder and run the command: python ez_setup.py setuptool-0.6c11-py2.7.egg

You can now install modules like suds using the command

python setup.py install
