Hi, I recently upgraded my python 2.6 to 2.7, but am having some problems installing modules. I've downloaded the feedparser module and the readme instructed me to have either distutils or setuptools installed (which I have) and then to run "python setup.py install" from the module's root directory.

Here's the error I get...

It is possible that setuptools has been installed in the python 2.6 modules directory. Try reinstalling setuptools,and anything else that installed python modules.

Sorry, forgot to mention, I reinstalled setuptools and installed distutils for the first time before I tried to install the module.
I'll google how to check if setuptools is pointing to the correct python version.

Ok, fixed it. I had to run ez_install.py (which pointed setuptools to the correct python version) and afterwards, was able to install the feedparser module without problems.

Thanks for the guidance Wink
