I'm trying to install Python Fabric on Windows 7 using the guide from Getting Python and Fabric Installed on Windows.
What i did so far:
- Installed Python 2.7 to C:\Python27
- Added the Python-Directory and Python/Scripts to the Windows System Paths
- Installed SetupTools
- Installed MinGW
- Added MinGW-Directory to the System Path
- Modified the distutils.cfg to match the MinGW-Path
This seemed to work fine until now. When I try to install Fabric via easy_install Fabric it starts to download the files, but then i get an chmod error.
Using c:\python27\lib\site-packages\fabric-1.3.4-py2.7.egg
Processing dependencies for fabric
Searching for pycrypto>=2.1,!=2.4
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/pycrypto/
Reading http://pycrypto.sourceforge.net
Reading http://www.amk.ca/python/code/crypto
Reading http://www.pycrypto.org/
Best match: pycrypto 2.5
Downloading http://ftp.dlitz.net/pub/dlitz/crypto/pycrypto/pycrypto-2.5.tar.gz
Processing pycrypto-2.5.tar.gz
Running pycrypto-2.5\setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir c:\users\birgit\appdata\local\temp\easy_install-nzrlow\pycrypto-2.5\egg-dist-tmp-_pwkm4
The command "chmod" is spelled wrong or could not be found.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python27\Scripts\easy_install-script.py", line 8, in <module> load_entry_point('setuptools==0.6c12dev-r88846', 'console_scripts', 'easy_install')()
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c12dev_r88846-py2.7.egg\setuptools\command\easy_install.py", line 1712, in main
... lots and lots of lines... (if they are relevant, I'll post them)
File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 972, in run_command cmd_obj.run()
File "setup.py", line 269, in run

Any suggestions to solve the problem?
I have just managed to install fabric on win7 box, using information from various places in the net. That was really annoying, so just to save others frustration I put together the following list.
- Install pip http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/index.html (that's easy, follow the guide on the web site, goes without problems)
- run from command line
pip install fabric- you'll get errors, some stuff about missing bat files, etc. while installing pycrypto. - Download precompiled pycrypto package from http://www.voidspace.org.uk/downloads/ for your version of Python, for instance for 2.7 it is http://www.voidspace.org.uk/downloads/pycrypto-2.1.0.win32-py2.7.zip
- run again from command line
pip install fabric- this time everything seems to be ok, until you try to run fabric script. It will complain about "No module named win32api", etc. - Install that missing win32api from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/ - first choose a build version (newest, probably) and then again .exe file for your Python version.
And you are done, fabric should work ok.
have you tried a binary installer from Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages: Base distribution may contain Fabric.
If you're using virtualenv, you need to add one point to Piotr Kochanski's answer: when creating the virtualenv, allow it to access the system packages so it can see pycrypto. By default it disallows this.
These steps worked for me:
- Install pycrpyto binary from http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml#pycrypto.
Create a virtual env that can access the system packages. For example:
c:\Python27\Scripts\virtualenv.exe --system-site-packages c:\Proj\virtualenvpip install fabric
1.Create a virtualenv (I usually put all mine on the desktop)
2.Download the binary of pycrypto (matching your installed python version and architecture -- no support for python3 as of now) - http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml
3.Navigate to the easy_install executable (under Lib\site-packages) within the virtualenv folder you created and run the pycrypto install - 'easy_install C:\path\to\the\download\pycrypto-2.6.win-amd64-py2.7.exe'
4.Activate the virtualenv and 'pip install fabric'
