Sometimes we cannot successfully install packages using "pip install". We can then try to find compiled bundle in "exe" format for the specified python release version we are using.

If we found bundle compiled by some other developers and we want to install it into a specific virtualenv rather than globally, we can simply use the easy_install tool under the virtualenv we activated:

easy_install binary_installer_built_with_distutils.exe
