Installing twisted on windows

gistfile1.md

1. install python 2.7.9 from here https://www.python.org/downloads/; if using a different python, then you may need to install pip using get-pip.py
2. add the directory located at C:\python27\scripts to the end of your path with ;C:\python27\scipts
3. upgrade pip to ensure that you have a version that supports installing wheels - pip install -U pip
4. run pip install virtualenv
5. run virtualenv venv
6. if using:
   • cmd run .\venv\activate
   • powershell run .\venv\Scripts\activate.ps1. By default, powershell doesn't allow execution of unsigned scripts. This can be turned off by setting the execution policy to a more permissive setting. This can be done with open powershell and typing: Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted. You will then be prompted about whether or not you'd like to really allow this; to accept type Y and hit enter.
   • git bash prompt run source ./venv/Scripts/activate
7. run pip install twisted
8. If you'd like access to win32 apis, install pypiwin32, using pip install pypiwin32
