Windows OS implementation

Created by: anthonydb

Here's an opportunity perhaps for some testing and/or documentation.

Although I installed and used csvkit easily under Ubuntu, I am having difficulty achieving similar ease of use under Windows 7. This may well be user-noobishness, but it would be great if I could work the same way under both OSes.

Under Win7 / Python 2.7.1:

-- I installed csvkit 0.2.6 using pip. -- csvkit-0.2.6-py2.7-egg-info folder and csvkit folder both created in C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages
-- Various scripts created in C:\Python27\Scripts\ (csvcut, etc.) -- Dependencies also installed.

In Ubuntu command line, I can execute: $ csvcut -n myfile.csv

At the Windows command line, similar does not work. To execute one of the scripts, I have to invoke Python and specify the full script path:

C:> python c:\Python27\Scripts\csvcut -n myfile.csv

And I do have my Python path, along with the Scripts path and the site-packages path, in my Windows Path environment variable: C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts;C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages;

Obviously, I'd prefer to simply type "C:>csvcut -n myfile.csv" in Windows.

Getting this nailed down will help open this great tool up to many more users. And it is really awesome.
