How can I install distribute for iPython running on Windows 7?

Question

I installed iPython on windows 7 without distribute. I read that without distribute, there is no Python startup menu. And, I cannot figure out how to install distribute.

Is there another way to run iPython? This is really bothering me. I cant seem to open a console!

Answer 1

This works for me under Windows 7 with Python 3.2.3 and IPython 0.12.1

 C:\Python32\Scripts\ipython3.exe

You could just create a shortcut for it.

Alternatively, type the above command in from the windows command shell to start up IPython.
