Absolute beginner : How to run pygraph on windows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Trying to import pygraph

>>> import pygraph

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I see:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named pygraph
>>>

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Python '2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14 2009, 22:40:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]'
on winXP

Please provide any additional information below.

I downloaded and unpacked the .zip file, but don't know where to put it, so
I unzipped it to 
C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\python-graph-1.7.0
parallel to my other packages like numpy.

How did you install python-graph? If you used setuptools / distribute with the 
"-m" 
option you need to "require" the module before you import it. Distribute allows 
you to 
have multiple versions of any given library installed on your computer but it 
adds an 
extra complication by forcing you to select which version you actually want 
before you 
can import.

Python has some excellent documentation that will give you a thorough 
understanding how to install 
new packages http://docs.python.org/install/ 

Tips:
- download lib
- extract 
- cd into python-graph folder 
- run python setup.py install with admin privileges
- run python -c "import pygraph" to check if everything is ok

I'm marking this issue as invalid for now.

Alternatively, you can use Distribute to install python-graph. We have 
instructions
