Installing configobj for python 2.7

Question

I'm sorry, I'm a Python scrub and I just wanted to make sure that I'm installing this library the right way.

I'm trying to get configObj installed for Python 2.7

Should I just browse to the directory the unzip is in and python.exe setup.py? If I do that will it install to the correct place? I know that seems basic but I don't work a lot with python so I just wanted to make sure since this library doesn't appear to have a windows msi. Thanks!

Did you read the docs ? (http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html#installing). So yes, `setup.py install` should be OK — , Dec 17 '12 at 22:33
Did you read the docs is not really an answer so I guess that's why you commented rather than answering, but yes I did. I just wanted to make sure that this would install to the python install itself and wasn't just in the unzipped directory or something like that. I just ran it in my project directory to make sure but from what you tell me that's not necessary. Thanks for the info. — El Duderino, Jan 18 '13 at 19:22
Basically the docs says precisely the same as you did. So either you had not read them, or you were installing a Python package for the first time. That was for the question in the comment. Now based on your answer, I understand it's the second option - which is fine, but it would have been an interesting thing to know to answer properly. — , Jan 18 '13 at 21:04
documents should always be in the extracted folder called readme. I am with you on this one. Totally annoying to not find them in the right place. I ask questions all the time El Duderino. I guess other's are reader-philes. I personally think my own personal hell will be a wall of text on a white screen with me searching for something. — thistleknot, Aug 14 '15 at 02:35

pip install configobj

Tt's the same for Linux versions also, provided you have pip.

Following the link provided by Tibo, I installed this library with pip install configobj. You can get pip on windows, following this post.
