Installing python dateutil

I tried to install python dateutil for my django tastypie but unsuccessful,

http://labix.org/python-dateutil#head-2f49784d6b27bae60cde1cff6a535663cf87497b

I downloaded the tar file in c:/python27 and unzipped it,

I get the following error msg,

**C:\Python27\Scripts>**easy_install dateutil-1.5

This will install tastypie and its dependencies:

$ easy_install pip
$ pip install django-tastypie

To get only dateutil:

$ pip install python-dateutil

I am not sure if this is different on Windows, but it does not appear you are referencing an actual link (see the Reading line). Instead, try this:

easy_install python-dateutil

That will (hopefully) get the package you need. Also, see this post for what looks like a similar issue.

On Windows:

Simply use following code,

$ pip install python-dateutil

If you want with easy_install try below command,( run Command Prompt CMD as Administrator )

$ easy_install python-dateutil

On Ubuntu:

For Ubuntu OS use following code,

sudo apt-get install python-dateutil
