SCSS editor, How to install webputty
Hi. i do web design + CMS every day.
Today i found an open source tool that should speed up my workflow. making it quicker to write scss. Its called webPutty:
http://fogcreek.github.io/WebPutty/
but i can't figure out how to install it as it uses python and pin and google app engine.
the install notes are hopeless for my level of skill:
https://github.com/FogCreek/WebPutty/
i have downloaded python and installed it to my windows p.c.
i have downloaded Google App Engine SDK for Python and installed it on my p.c
i have created a app with the app engine.
and i have tried to follow the instructions to update app.yaml and settings.py but its not that obviuse if i did it correct.
now am stuck trying to install pip into python as i haven't done that before and dont know how to start.
this is hard for me as i am not a developer but i really want to try out Webputty. can anyone talk me through the installation or make a screen recording. i can open another question to give more points out if this will be to much to ask.
thanks.

Hi i have installed the above.
i had to get the versions of each that work with python 2.7 as it says to use python 2.7 in the webputty documentation however the command easy_install virtualenv is not working when typed into cmd it says syntax error.

Can you post the exact error that you're getting? I don't know of any circumstance in which the windows command prompt would ever return syntax error. My guess would be that you're getting back something more like:
easy_install is not recognized as an internal or external command...
If that's the case, then your python scripts directory which contains easy_install isn't in your path. Typically, that directory would be c:\python27\scripts but depending on the flavor of python you've got installed it could be somewhere else. In the command window, type:
where python
Assuming python is in your path, it will spit out something like:
c:\python27\python.exe
The easy_install script is in the scripts subdirectory off your main python path. So in the case above the command to run would be:
c:\python27\scripts\easy_i
or if you really only want pip then
c:\python27\scripts\easy_i

I can navigate to C:\Python27\Scripts in windows explorer
but when i type where python into CMD it says: could not find files for this given pattern
so i used: c:\python27\scripts\easy_i
and it installed but now i cant get it to installing fabric e.g:
pip install fabric
please see the screenshot

It should be in your scripts directory.
c:\python27\scripts\pip
But you should probably fix your path. It should include your python installation and the python scripts directory. Add c:\python27;c:\python27\sc

The vcvarsall.bat sets up your environment for Visual Studio's command-line compilation. It's trying to do a build of pycrypto but you probably don't have visual studio installed. Download and install the prebuilt version appropriate (32 or 64-bit) for your system from http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml#pycrypto. It'll be either:
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/downloads/pycrypto26/pycrypto-2.6.win32-py2.7.exe
or
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/downloads/pycrypto26/pycrypto-2.6.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
Match whatever your python build is. You can tell which you have installed by starting up the python interpreter. It'll be on the first line.
Once you have pycrypto installed reissue your pip install fabric command.

1) pywin32 - http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20218/
2) setuptools - https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools
Both of the above have binary installers, so should be pretty straightforward to install. Setuptools includes something called easy_install. Once it's installed, open up a command prompt and type the following:
Open in new window
That will install virtualenv which includes pip.
