Python Window Closes Can't Read Output

I am attempting to install a python module using

python setup.py install

in Windows 7 32 bit.

I start up cmd.exe, navigate to the module source and run the command. This brings up the UAC window, then opens a NEW console window which closes. I don't think the install is working as I can't find the module in lib/site-packages.

I've read a few similar questions but they ALL say the same thing, run it from Windows command prompt. I am doing this... it's still bringing up a new window. TIA

I see you succceded but in the future you might want to use the easy install tool it for:

Easily download, build, install, upgrade, and uninstall Python packages

The idea is that it will automatically look for the package download and install it for example:

easy_install SQLObject

will install SQLObject module on your PC and add it to the site packages

Download link:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/1.1.6#installation-instructions

one more option is to use pip, you can see a post here and decide what you want.
