To use the package that you got from the web-site: "python setup.py install "

My advice is to use easy_install instead of downloading packages straight from the project web-site.

To do this, you must first install setuptools.

Then just use the command "easy_install paramiko".

As you use lots of different packages, this ends up saving you lots of hassle.

    Note that setuptools, though very commonly used, is non-standard. The standard is to use the package's `setup.py` directly. – bignose Jun 09 '09 at 05:05
