How to install Python Virtualenv?

Question

I'm new to Python. I need to install "Virtualenv" but I don't can't figure out how it works and how to install it.

I have downloaded and uncompress virtualenv-1.5.2. What sould be my next step?

Best Regards,

Your next step should have been your first step: Read the manual. If you have done this, please be more concrete in your question. What part are you having problems with? — Björn Pollex

Inside the uncompressed virtualenv directory run

python setup.py install

You should also learn about easy_install and pip for Python package installation.

Thanks for your reply. I have installed in this way: "python C:\virtualenv-1.5.2\virtualenv.py --distribute python_virtualenv". This will create a directory with the virtualenv

Just install ActivePython, it already includes virtualenv, easy_install, pip and PyPM.
