python - Install paramiko on Windows

Question

OK. I read installing paramiko on Windows.

All mentioned methods simply do not work.

Authors have different environments with different components/libraries installed. Or may be they don't test their solutions before posting an answer :)

I removed all python versions and libs from my machine (Windows 8 x64) and tried to install python and paramiko from scratch.

Method number 1 (FAILED)

1. Install python-2.7.3.amd64.msi
2. Install pycrypto-2.6.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
3. Download https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/archive/master.zip, unpack it.
4. Run setup.py install
5. Go to IDLE, run import paramiko.

Result:

Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in

Answer 1

For installing paramiko, Visual Basic Compiler is needed.

First download it from Microcsoft: Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7

Open the paramiko directory and run python setup.py install . And it will download dependencies from internet; especially pycrypto and installation will be successful.
