Problem using easy_install.exe to install pyMySQL for Django

I'm trying to install the pyMySQL module for python so that I can setup Django (see this previous question).

I can't get easy_install.exe PyMySQL-0.3-py2.6.egg to run for the life of me. Every time I get the error easy_install.exe not recognized as an internal or external command... I've tried adding various directories to my system path including:

C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\;
C:\Python27\Scripts\; 
C:\Python27\Scripts\easy_install.exe
C:\Python27\Scripts\easy_install.exe PyMySQL-0.3-py2.6.egg

What am I missing that is keeping this from executing?(note I'm on windows 7)

You have to install setuptools first

[edit]
Uh,

C:\Users\Robus>easy_install
Yada yada, not found
C:\Python26\Scripts>easy_install
error: No urls, filenames, or requirements specified (see --help)
C:\Python26>

The next best thing I can think of is - do you, by any chance, have more than one version of python installed? In that case setuptools might have been installed somewhere else
