If you do this:

     easy_install "http://somesite.com/mymodule.py#egg=MyProject-0.1"

EasyInstall will treat the .py file as being an egg named MyProject, with a
version number of 0.1.


Ok, thanks for the pointer. However, would it perhaps make sense to
have the option of automatically generating the egg name from the
module name (and using the name 'Mymodule", for example).

It looks like setuptools determines the name of the file from the URL.

I use a Python CGI to serve my files for download. This means that anyone attempting
:

    easy_install "http://www.voidspace.org.uk/cgi-bin/voidspace/downman.py?file=configobj.py"

Gets an egg containing 'downman.py'. The CGI does send the correct http header containing the filename :

    Content-Type: application/octet-stream
    Content-Disposition: attachment; filename= "%s"
    Content-Length: %s

Shouldn't setuptools honour the "Content-Disposition" header ?

All the best,
