pip install numpy pypiwin32

python[2 | 3] -m pip install <packagename> (...)

...for PythonWin and the python extensions, pypiwin32 is the package name you want to use for both 32-bit and 64-bit installations.

To get the extensions to import without error into other python environments where they are not installed, even if you do not have admin rights:

1. Ensure that the extensions are working where they are installed.
2. copy the following DLLs to the SAME directory where the PYTHON.EXE is located:

   pythoncom27.dll
pythoncomloader27.dll
pywintypes27.dll

3. Make sure that the python runtime DLL (python[majornumber][minornumber].dll) is also located in the same directory where the python.exe file is located. That will ensure that the environment is truly portable anyway.
4. Run the following code before you run code that imports modules from both environments:

   import sys
   
   myPaths = [
              'InstallPath\\lib\\site-packages', 
              'InstallPath\\Lib\\site-packages\\pythonwin', 
              'InstallPath\\Lib\\site-packages\\pythonwin\pywin',
              'InstallPath\\lib\\site-packages\\pywin32_system32',
              'InstallPath\\lib\\site-packages\\win32', 
              'InstallPath\\lib\\site-packages\\win32com', 
              'InstallPath\\lib\\site-packages\\win32comext', 
              'InstallPath\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib'
             ]
   for aPath in myPaths:
       sys.path.insert(1, aPath)

Use help('modules') to get a list of installed and deprecated extensions.

They're all located at the pypi repository, located here or here. 

^*NOTE: DO NOT use the plain numpy package. It MUST be the numpy+mkl package, or several of the packages in this list won't work. I used Gohlke's wheel (below) because I couldn't find the special numpy package in pypi.

¹Even though clusterpy is in the python 3 pypi index, the source code has not been updated for python 3. To update it, in the __init__.py file, remove the from core import * line, and update the syntax for all the print statements.

²Even though pysal is in the python 3 pypi index for 32-bit windows, the entry on pypi has not been updated for python 3 for 32-bit windows. Use the .WHL file instead.

³WxPython requires a special pip install string. Get it here.

⁴PyQt will not install on OSX via PIP. On Windows, it will only install in Python 3. The parameter is case sensitive.

⁵py2exe is for python 3 only.

⁶scapy is for python 2 only. You MUST have admin rights on the installation machine because scapy REQUIRES winpcap to be installed. Thus scapy is not portable at this time.

If trying an install on Windows and it doesn't work, download the compiled .WHL file from Christopher Gohlke's Windows Binary Scientific python extensions repository, and install it directly using:

pip install [.whl file name]

...don't rename the file; copy and paste from an explorer window. If trying an install on OSX/*nix and the install doesn't work...you're out of luck, you'll have to figure out how to build it manually.
