How to install odfpy? (or a better alternative?)

[merlem]

How can I install odfpy?
I tried

python -m pip install setup.py

from the directory in which I unpacked odfpy-master.zip.
I got only an error:

Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement setup.py

Well, why at all? The files are stord  on my PC. No need to download anything.

The logfile says probably only the same, but with more words:

Output:

So, how can I install the stored odfpy?
Or is there an better alternative if I simply want to read the contents of an OO/LO spreadsheet (*.ods)?

What happens if you do
$ python setup.py

[merlem]

I get another error, basically:

 error: no commands supplied

There is some more text about usage of setup.py, but I guess that's not so important.

I'm working with WinXP and Python 2.7.

[wavic]

Try full path to python.exe as a command.
For example:

cd path_to_setup_file
C:\>Python2.7\python27.exe setup.py

I am using Linux I hope some Windows guy will answer adequate. I am guessing now.

Result is the same.
It says:

Output:
usage: setup.py [global.opts] cmd1 [cmd2] [cmd2_opts] ...]
  or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2...]
  or: setup.py --help-commands
  or: setup.py cmd --help

error: no command supplied

By the way, in the Help there is a comment: " If this text is within a popup that you cannot copy the text out of, please use this tool to acquire the text from within it (for windows users)."
Unfortunately, there is no link provided for "this tool" :-( .... But it might be helpful, I guess.

[wavic]

run in the terminal
python setup.py --help-commands

I am guessing it will print available setup.py commands

[merlem]

Thanks a lot - that is working now!
From the list I got I picked

Output:
...> python setup.py build
...> python setup.py install

and that makes the python command 'import odf' working.

Many, many thanks for the fast and patient help :-) !

Good! Just read the output. I didn't done anything else.
