I tried to install python dateutil for my django tastypie but unsuccessful,

http://labix.org/python-dateutil#head-2f49784d6b27bae60cde1cff6a535663cf87497b

I downloaded the tar file in c:/python27 and unzipped it,

I get the following error msg,

**C:\Python27\Scripts>**easy_install dateutil-1.5

This will install tastypie and its dependencies:

$ easy_install pip
$ pip install django-tastypie

To get only dateutil:

$ pip install python-dateutil
