How to set win7 environment variables

* Install Python 2.7.3:

 1.  Download- http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/python-2.7.3.amd64.msi
 2.  Run Install.  Should place install here: C:\Python27
 3.  Set System environment variable pointing to Python27.exe

* Install Psutil (Python must be installed):

    This is a python module that can be used to determine disk and memory usage 
    for the machine, per application, etc.  Very useful and several of the 
    scripts I've written use modules from Psutil.
 1.  Download- http://psutil.googlecode.com/files/psutil-0.6.1.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
 2.  Run Installer
 3.  When finished open a python shell. Enter this: import psutil
     If this doesn't cause an error the install worked.

* Setuptools Install (Python must be installed):

 1. Download- http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
 2. Open a command window as administrator
 3. Run "python <path to file>/ez_setup.py install"

* PIP Install:

 1. Open a command window as administrator
 2. Run "easy_install pip"

* Install Komodo Edit:

 1. Download- http://downloads.activestate.com/Komodo/releases/7.1.2/Komodo-Edit-7.1.2-10678.msi
 2. Once installed go to 'Tools' menu and select 'Add-Ons'.  
    Search for Maya or MEL language support and install.
 3. Suggest going to 'Edit' menu, 'Preferences' and adjusting 'Fonts and Colors' Scheme to something Dark.  
    Much more pleasing to the eyes than white background.

 1. Download- http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/vlc/2.0.4/win32/vlc-2.0.4-win32.exe
