setuptools for 64-bit 2.7.1 on 64-bit Windows 7?

[Dick Bridges]

David,

Thanks for the link. I'd scanned but skipped it because it was
"third-party". This time I started following some of the links and finally
found the link for distutils:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute#installation-instructions. Works like
a charm.

Thanks for pointing me back to that link - I was clearly too hasty
dismissing it during my so-called "due diligence". 8-P
