Hi,
I have just now installed Python 2.6 on my Windows 7 (64 bit) Lenovo t61p laptop.
I have downloaded Sphinx and nose and apparently installed them correctly using
python setup.py install
(at least no errors were reported during the installation).
Now I am trying to install pymongo using easy_install but I am not having much success. It seems that easy_install isn't working at all. I execute easy_install as administrator:
C:\>easy_install
Cannot find Python executable C:\Program Files\Python26\python.exe
The path C:\Program Files\Python26\python.exe is correct.
I have found this bug report on bugs.python.org which seems to be related, although its status is 'Resolved'.
Do you have any ideas as to what may be wrong? Any pointers, hints or tips for diagnosing the problem further would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: This is the stacktrace I receive when trying to install pymongo:

PS.: I previously installed Python 3.1 but later installed 2.6 because I am not sure whether pymongo supports 3.1.
PPS.: I have tried installing pymongo using the python setup.py install approach, but this resulted in a nasty-looking stack trace, so I thought I would try to let easy_install take care of it for me.
PPPS.: I am completely new to Python, easy_install, eggs etc.
