title: Python newbie - PIP / invalid syntax error
body: <p>Ok, totally newbie to programming and python. Running Windows 7, python 2.7 x64.
  I am trying in install <code>dateutil</code> package using <code>pip</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I installed <code>pip</code>, <code>numpy</code> and <code>pandas</code>... which were pretty straightforward as they are <code>exe</code> files.</p>
  
  <p>I am now trying to use <code>pip</code> to install <code>dateutil</code>. In the Python Shell, I have typed:</p>
  
  <pre><code>pip install dateutil 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and </p>
  
  <pre><code>pip install python-dateutil
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I continue to get <code>"Invalid Syntax"</code> errors at the install command. What am I doing wrong here?  I have also tried this in the python command line.</p>
  
  <p>I have checked my modules installed and I have both <code>pip</code> and <code>easy_install</code>.  Really confused right now...I also have tried running the setup script for <code>dateutil</code> and I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "C:\Python27\Scripts\python-dateutil-1.5.tar\python-dateutil-1.5\setup.py", line 14, in &lt;module&gt;
      TOPDIR = os.path.dirname(__file__) or "."
  NameError: name '__file__' is not defined
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Help please! Thanks in advance for any help.</p>
