-`pip` and `distribute` on Windows
------------------------------------
-
-On Windows, installation of `easy_install` is a little bit trickier, but
-still quite easy.  The easiest way to do it is to download the
-`distribute_setup.py`_ file and run it.  The easiest way to run the file
-is to open your downloads folder and double-click on the file.
-
-Next, add the `easy_install` command and other Python scripts to the
-command search path, by adding your Python installation's Scripts folder
-to the `PATH` environment variable.  To do that, right-click on the
-"Computer" icon on the Desktop or in the Start menu, and choose "Properties".
-Then click on "Advanced System settings" (in Windows XP, click on the
-"Advanced" tab instead).  Then click on the "Environment variables" button.
-Finally, double-click on the "Path" variable in the "System variables" section,
-and add the path of your Python interpreter's Scripts folder. Be sure to
-delimit it from existing values with a semicolon.  Assuming you are using
-Python 2.7 on the default path, add the following value::
-
-
-    ;C:\Python27\Scripts
-
-And you are done!  To check that it worked, open the Command Prompt and execute
-``easy_install``.  If you have User Account Control enabled on Windows Vista or
-Windows 7, it should prompt you for administrator privileges.
-
-Now that you have ``easy_install``, you can use it to install ``pip``::
-
-    > easy_install pip
