Downloading pythonutils from pypi fails even though it is downloading a perfectly good .zip source file.
> easy_install pythonutils==0.3.0 Searching for pythonutils==0.3.0 Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/pythonutils/ Couldn't find index page for 'pythonutils' (maybe misspelled?) Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while) Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/ Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/Pythonutils/ Reading http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml#pythonutils Reading http://www.voidspace.org.uk/cgi-bin/voidspace/downman.py?file=pythonutils-0. 2.3.zip Reading http://www.voidspace.org.uk/cgi-bin/voidspace/downman.py?file=pythonutils-0. 2.5.zip Reading http://www.voidspace.org.uk/cgi-bin/voidspace/downman.py?file=pythonutils-0. 3.0.zip No local packages or download links found for pythonutils==0.3.0 error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('pythonutils==0.3.0') If I download the .zip file manually and easy_install the zip file, the install goes great. I think the problem is related to the .py name appearing in the filename. > easy_install http://www.voidspace.org.uk/cgi-bin/voidspace/downman.py?file=pythonutils-0. 3.0.zip Downloading http://www.voidspace.org.uk/cgi-bin/voidspace/downman.py?file=pythonutils-0. 3.0.zip error: Can't process plain .py files without an '#egg=name-version' suffix to enable automatic setup script generation. I'm guessing that whatever easy_install uses for downloading the file ends up naming it downman.py (or something similar). I checked the headers on the response from voidspace, and I see voidspace is in fact supplying the content-disposition header: content-disposition: attachment; filename= "pythonutils-0.3.0.zip" So it appears that whatever downloader easy_install is using isn't honoring the content-disposition header. or the check for python-ness is otherwise getting a false positive. This problem was observed in Windows Vista 64-bit with Python 2.5.2 32-bit and setuptools 0.6c9. Should I post a bug in bugtracker on this issue? Regards, Jason
