How do I install a python package

Question

I want to install this python package: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/netifaces/0.5

But I don't know how and I know nothing about python. Still, I guess there is a standardized way to install it. Am I right?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

From http://pypi.python.org/pypi :

to use a package from this index either "pip install package" or download, unpack and "python setup.py install" it.

That said, often distributions of Linux package a lot in their repositories, so try those too.
