Install Python easy_install

When installing a third-party Python class library, Python provides a command similar to the yum easy_install command, but the system generally does not contain the easy_install command. Therefore, the installation method of the easy_install command is described as follows:

1) download setuptools:

wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.4/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.4.egg#md5=bd639f9b0eac4c42497034dec2ec0c2b

2) install setuptools

sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.4.egg

3) Test the easy_install command
