You need Python 2.4 if you're using a 64-bit platform; Python 2.3's "zipimport" module has a bug that wasn't fixed until Python 2.4 was released. See this message for more details: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-September/056818.html I did, however, forget to add this to the setuptools documentation as I promised in that message, so I've just added it to my local copy so I won't forget again. :) _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
