How to download and install python modules?

[20AJ0931]

I am new to python and only know basic programming. I want to start working with modules. Especially the 'wmi' module. How do I download and install it.

python comes with pip, so use that

1	pip install wmi

then test with 

1	import wmi

Also, to browse modules that are available (searching by subject), visit: https://pypi.python.org/pypi
And you can find wheels here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

to install from a wheel, download the wheel to your favorite directory,
change to that directory and use

1	pip install wheel name

Wheels are named (on gohike) like:

• ad3‑2.0.2‑cp27‑cp27m‑win32.whl
  
• ad3‑2.0.2‑cp27‑cp27m‑win_amd64.whl
  
• ad3‑2.0.2‑cp34‑cp34m‑win32.whl
  
• ad3‑2.0.2‑cp34‑cp34m‑win_amd64.whl
  
• ad3‑2.0.2‑cp35‑cp35m‑win32.whl
  
• ad3‑2.0.2‑cp35‑cp35m‑win_amd64.whl
  

The number after the cp is the python version number
then the 32 and 64 are for 32 bit and 64 bit os.

download it from the internet and install it or use pip

I'd try to use pip first, directly from the net.
If there's any problem (most work ok), and there is a wheel on gohike,
download that next and use pip to install

finally, you can download the package, find the setup.py file and run:

1	python setup.py install
