Question

I am new into Python, so maybe my questions is stupid, but I am not able to install pykml module.

Visiting its website, there are no Windows instructions for installing. Anyway I tried installing easy_install, and that doesn’t work either.

Since now, I have done:

• Install Python 2.7.3
• Manually add C:\Python27 to PATH enviroment variable
• Also added C:\Python27\Scripts to allow easy_install execution
• Executed easy_install lykml. It is not found at easy_install repositories ('Could not find suitable distribution for Requeriment.parse('pykml')')
• Tried easy_install pip to try installing with pip. Same error than before.

My Windows 7 is 64 bits. How can I solve this problem?

EDIT: I have found some packages built in .exe for windows 64 bits and installed them successfully. For example easy_install was installed in that way. But other times I try installing an .exe package distribution, as pyserial, and installation wizard says 'No Python installation found in the registry'. Could that be related?

Did you try to install these unofficial binaries for lxml? Use the amd64 version that corresponds to your Python version. With lxml installed your pyxml installation should succeed too.
