INSTALLING:
There are four ways to do it: The easy_install Way, The Setuptools Way, The

choose the easy_install way.
The easy_install Way:
You don't need to download the source code first.
You don't need to download the source code first. You do need to have the
"easy_install" tool installed first:
Tahoe is registered with the Python Package Index (PyPI), so the
'easy_install' tool can download and install it for you. Just type

The 'easy_install' tool can download and install tahoe for you. Just type
'easy_install allmydata-tahoe' from any shell. That will download the most
recent Tahoe source tarball, unpack it in a temporary directory, install it
