Thanks for the report. when you say "can't install", what happens? Are you 
installing it using 'pip' or what? Does it display any text while attempting to 
install? Presumably you know it hasn't installed because you can't import it?

When I try to install it, the following appears:

C:\Program Files\Python 3>python.exe 
"C:\Users\someuser\Documents\Downloads\colorama
\setup.py" install
running install
running build
running build_py
error: package directory 'colorama' does not exist

I tested with the 32 and 64 Bit version of Python. Colorama can install but 
fail to work properly.

Python 3.3.0 (v3.3.0:bd8afb90ebf2, Sep 29 2012, 10:55:48) [MSC v.1600 32 bit 
(intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from colorama import init
>>> init ()
>>> from colorama import Fore, Back, Style
>>> print Fore.RED + 'some red text'
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    print Fore.RED + 'some red text'
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

My bad, I had a syntax error.

print (Fore.RED + 'some red text')

Works perfect

@starbeamrownbowlabs: What happens if you cd to the project directory before 
running "python setup.py install"?

Perhaps it's looking for the 'colorama' directory that is next to the 
'setup.py' file, but not finding it because you're in a different (i.e. wrong?) 
directory?

Thanks for any info.

Do you mean cd ing to the location of colorama when I run setup.py?

I think that I did that.

Hey. I only ask because the transcript of your command-line you posted above 
doesn't show that. But if you're saying that you did and it behaves just the 
same, then cool, I'll believe you.

@starbeamrownbowlabs :

check as well to run the setup.py from an Administrator mode command line 
prompt.

For Project Member :

Correct the Examples on this page https://pypi.python.org/pypi/colorama , to be 
compatible with python 3.3 (i.e. add parenthesis to the print)

@stuyck: I'm adding you to the credits/thanks paragraph. Let me know if you 
want me to use anything other than just 'stuyck'. Everyone else in there is a 
real name, but I'm not fussy.

@#7 Sorry, read the above and realised that I hadn't.

It works now - I am really not very experienced with this kind of thing :)

@starbeamrainbowlabs: You're doing great: We all overlook things. But you then 
responsibly reported the issue in the right place, had a polite conversation to 
figure out what's going on, and then helpfully reported back when it finally 
worked, rather than just mysteriously going dark. Exactly what makes the open 
source world go around. :-)

Closing as 'invalid'.
